An Cheathrú Rua

Tá an Cheathrú Rua 25 míle siar ó chathair na Gaillimhe, ar bhóthar an chósta. Tá sé ar imeall
Chonamara. Tá tithe tábhairne, bialanna agus siopaí sa mbaile áit a bhfuil na daoine
an-chairdiúil.

An Cheathrú Rua is 25 miles west of Galway city, on the main coast road. It’s at the edge of beautiful
Connemara. This very friendly town has pubs, restaurants and shops and is a perfect base for touring the
gaeltacht West of Ireland.

Mar gheall ar na tránna breátha glana atá thart orainn, bíonn aghaidh na ndaoine sa treo seo i
gcónaí. Bhí agus tá obair á sholáthar sa gceantar de bharr tionscail na Gaeilge, agus tarraingíonn an Ghaeilge
féin go leor cuairteoirí. Tá na coláistí samhraidh Gaeilge ann a mbíonn daltaí óga agus déagóirí ag
freastal orthu, agus tá Áras Mháirtín Uí Chadhain/Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge suite i lár an
bhaile freisin, áit a mbíonn mic léinn ag freastal ar chúrsaí léinn agus cúrsaí Gaeilge ar feadh na
bliana ar fad.

Because of the clean beaches that surround us, people are constantly drawn in this direction. Work has
been provided in the area because of the language industry, and the medium itself draws many visitors.
Irish summer colleges are able to cater for young children and teenagers, and Áras Mhairtín Uí
Chadhain/NUIG is located in the town centre too, where students attend language courses during the year.

Bíodh bróga maith compordach agat agus cóta báistí ar iompar agat freisin. Bíodh léarscáil den
limistéarar iompar agat nó fón póca leis an APP íoslódáilte ar. Bí cúramach le Cladach agus má bhíonn tú leat féin bíodh d’fhón póca agat.

Its recommended that you wear comfortable walking boots and carry rain gear with you at all times.
Have a map of the area or a mobile device with the APP downloaded and installed onto it. Extreme caution is
advised while walking on the coastline, and if alone its recommended that you always carry a mobile
phone.

Bheadh siúlóid ó phointe 14 – 21 oiriúnach dóibh siúd a mbeadh suim acu sna láithreáin stairiúil an limistéir.
