Joyce Country is a special region in North Connemara stretching from Maam Cross in the south to Tourmakeady in the North. It encompasses the upper Lough Corrib to the South East and lower Lough Mask to the North East.  Surrounded by the Maamturk Mountains to the west, the region is an ideal playground for outdoor enthusiasts and Irish language speakers.
