Castles of Connemara Guided Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Galway Cathedral. After gathering, we'll board a bus to discover the castles of Connemara. This tour allows us to explore the region's rich history.

The Connemara region is characterized by its wild landscapes and is home to several historical castles. Our first stop will be Aughnanure Castle, located near Lough Corrib, where we'll learn about the O'Flahertys, a prominent noble family in the 16th century. We will walk around the remains of the banqueting hall, observe the watchtower, and see various bastions still standing.

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

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

Finally, we will conclude the tour and return to the starting point 8 hours after the activity begins.
