This dramatic inlet stretches 16 kilometres (10 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean to its head at Aasleagh, below Aasleagh Falls. It\u2019s the only fjord in Connemara.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acting as a natural border between the counties of Galway and Mayo, Killarney Harbour offers some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the country. It\u2019s framed by the highest mountain in Connacht, Mweelrea, to the north and the Twelve Bens and the Maumturk Mountains to the south.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a vital maritime route, Killary Harbour remains a key location for traditional mussel farming, a practice that has sustained local communities for generations.
