The Connemara Greenway will eventually link Galway with Clifden for a traffic free ride along the course of the Connemara Railway. The line provided a vital link between Clifden and Connemara with the rest of Ireland as before this, all transport and imports/exports had to happen by sea which was especially difficult during the winter months. It was opened in 1895 and closed in 1935.
