Castles of Connemara Guided Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Galway Cathedral. Once gathered, we'll board a bus to explore one of the treasures of Connemara - its castles. Let's travel back in time to the Middle Ages!

The Connemara region, known for its wild landscapes, is home to numerous castles with rich histories. First, we will visit Aughnanure Castle, near Lough Corrib.

Here, we'll learn about the history of the O'Flahertys, a prominent noble family in the 16th century. We will stroll around the banqueting hall, see the watchtower, and view the standing bastions.

Next, we'll continue through the scenic Inagh Valley to Kylemore Abbey, built by Mitchell Henry as a wedding gift for his wife. You will have one hour of free time to explore the abbey, including its Victorian gardens and Gothic church.

We will then leave Kylemore for a brief stop near Ballynahinch Castle for a souvenir photo. On the way, we will also see the famous Sky Road.

Finally, we will conclude the tour eight hours after the start of the activity.
