602. RossavealRossaveal or Rosaveel - "The peninisula of the whale or sea-monster", is 36 km west from Galway city and is now the chief fishing harbour of County Galway. A series of new quays to service the modern larger trawlers replace the old 19th century boats to carry turf to the Aran Islands. A cold store, auction room and fish processing factory have all been added in recent times and Rossaveel now acts as a ferry port for the vessels making the short trip to the Aran Islands. A fine example of a Martello Tower dating from the start of the 19th century and built to curb invasion attempts by the French stands a little further south along the coast of Casla Bay. At the end of the bay lies the important cross-roads of Casla where Udaras na Gaeltachta has established an industrial estate near the headquarters of Radio na Gaeltachta, the Irish-language broadcasting service.

604. RoundstoneThe village of Roundstone (the stone of the seals) on the west side of Roundstone Bay, is perhaps the most picturesque fishing harbour in Connemara. It owes its origins to Alexander Nimmo, the great 19th century Scottish engineer who not alone constructed its first pier but also personally helped to develop this delightful village. Today, a number of small craft industries operate in the area including bodhran maker, Malachy Kearns who can be seen making these ancient drums in the local IDA craft workshop from 9 am to 6 pm daily. Roundstone is a fine holiday resort, with intimate pubs and restaurants overlooking the harbour and hotel and guest house accommodation readily available. Artists, botanists, sailors and sea anglers can all indulge themselves here, while nearby Gurteen and Dog's Bay will please the most avid beach person and caravan devotee. The hill climber will also feel at home here, for Roundstone lies beneath Errisbeg Mountain, an easy climb for most, with fantastic views of sea, lakes and mountains waiting as a reward.

605. SalthillOnce a small seaside resort 3 km west of Galway, Salthill is now an important suburb of this expanding city. Salthill seems to have grown as a result and, today, it is the premier resort in Ireland. While it may have lost some of its simple, rural charms, it has gained a wealth of amenities in the process. The giant Leisureland complex, with its host of childrens entertainments, including an indoor heated swimming pool, proves very popular, especially when the weather acts the spoilsport, as it will do at times here in the west. The golden half-mile of casinos, pubs and restaurants also play their part by day and discos and musical pubs rule the roost at night.
