Salthill Angel Wings
Salthill, Galway
It’s hard to beat Salthill’s location. Situated on the northern inner shore of Galway Bay, the Aran Islands are visible to the right and Galway City ''The City of the Tribes’' to the left. Directly across Galway Bay is the Burren (County Clare) and to the west are the bogs and mountains of Connemara. On a clear day you feel as though you could reach out across the bay and touch the Clare hills though there are also many days when you can’t see them at all. There’s an old expression which goes, ''when you see Aran and the Clare hills it’s a sign of rain and when you can’t see them, it’s actually raining!''
