Flights to Recess

Perched amid the mountains and loughs of Connemara, Recess is a wonderfully romantic flight destination where luxury hotels offer the perfect counterbalance to days spent out in an awe-inspiring natural wilderness.

A flight to Shannon Airport will drop you from the skies down into the bright green countryside of the Republic of Ireland’s magical west. As you approach your flight destination, the blue loughs and glistening grey-green mountains of Connemara may be visible to the north in one of Europe’s most westerly, unspoiled outposts.Flights to Shannon Airport

The international hub recommended for holidays in Connemara is Shannon Airport, which is around 90 miles by road from Recess, via Galway. Shannon Airport is served by UK flights from London Gatwick, London Heathrow and London Stansted, from Birmingham and Manchester.

Although Galway Airport is closer to your final destination, its size, runway length and flight restrictions mean you will be unlikely to be able to book a direct flight from the UK. You’ll save time, expense and the need to transfer to an internal flight by simply booking a flight to Shannon.

Getting to Recess After Your flight

One of the many attractions of Connemara is its glorious isolation in a far-flung natural wilderness. As such, car rental from Expedia is highly recommended for your visit to Recess – bookable in advance, facilitating an easy pick-up as soon as your flight lands. This neatly sidesteps the need to travel by bus to Galway and then onward into the wild western sunset.

By car, the journey could hardly be easier. Galway is clearly signposted from Shannon Airport, straight up the M18 motorway, which becomes the N18 as it approaches Galway. At the junction with the M6, simply follow it to the west and keep on going. Over the Corrib River on the N6, the N59 is signposted, which takes you direct to Recess, some 40 miles distant.

When to Book a Flight to Recess

The obvious choice for a flight to visit Connemara is perhaps summer, when the weather is likely to be most clement, enabling you to get out and about to explore the wondrous landscapes of green marble mountains interspersed with bogs and lakes, fringed at the coast with cliffs and golden beaches.

And yet visitors to this enchanted environment often return to sample new sides of its ever-changing moods – the refreshed colours of spring, the mellow golden days of autumn… even the winds and clouds of winter can provide a unique thrill when the well-deserved luxuries of Recess’s hotels are close by to welcome you home.

What to Remember for Your Flight to Recess

Golf clubs? Fishing gear? Nordic walking poles? Paints, sketchbooks and portable easel? Romantic novel? Shooting, cycling, sea kayaking and surfing are other prime attractions, but don’t worry, some equipment is easier to hire than bring along!
