A stronghold of the fearsome O’Flaherty Gaelic lords, the perfectly preserved 15th Century Aughnanure Castel is poised on a rocky outcrop on the Drimneen river and near the shores of Lock Corrib. You will learn about the Tower-Houses typical of this region, and the power and influence held by the Gaelic lords during Medieval times as well as the role played by the Castle during the Historic ‘Cromwellian blockade’ and the unfortunate O’Flaherty’s, as you enjoy a stroll in the impressive setting or choose to enter the Castle itself.

One of the most picturesque towns in Ireland with a stunning coastal location at the foot of the Twelve Pins Mountains and located on the Owenglin River where it flows into Clifden Bay. Considered the Capital of the Connemara region this vibrant & cosmopolitan town is brimming with boutiques, gift and souvenir shops, cafes, fine restaurants and lots of quaint Irish pubs. We take a panoramic drive around the town’s main viewpoints & highlights including the ruins of 18th Century Clifden Castle before continuing

Next we join the rugged Wild-Atlantic-Way route from Clifden to enjoy one of the most beautiful areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty as the road rises up to a view point overlooking the whole of Clifden bay as well as the offshore Islands. A wonderful stop to take in some breathtaking Sea views.

One of Ireland’s top tourist attractions, Kylemore Abbey and Gardens estate has a jaw dropping lakeside location set against a backdrop of Connemara’s wooded mountainside.

Considered Irelands Lake District with a rugged blend of mountain ranges and coastal beauty this area captures the natural characteristic beauty of Connemara. We enjoy one of the most scenic drives in Europe as we head towards the Village of Leenane positioned at the head of Killary Fjord.

Gaynor's Bar, The Field Bar. Time for one of Ireland's Cozy family friendly Bars for a bit of refreshment! Gaynor's Bar, was used n one of the Iconic Scenes of the powerful movie 'The Field', which your guide can provide the storied details & its place in Irish Mythology.

Rural farming remains the backbone of Ireland's cultural heritage & you will visit a local working Sheep Farm to watch the sheepdogs at work and meet the skilled trainers who will greet you on your arrival. Due to the additional time at the farm, Cong is not visited. This activity is rated as one of Ireland's top things to see, so is highly recommended.

Continuing through one of Ireland's most scenic areas we hug the shores of Lake Corrib, with peaceful views of Islands & Castles as we head further West to Killary Fjord, a deep inlet of the Atlantic Ocean and area of outstanding Natural Beauty. Surrounded by immense mountains & home to Seals, dolphins & whales, we will learn about its wildlife and take in the panoramic views, spot Muscle & Salmon farms & maybe spot a Dolphin or two if your lucky!

With a picture-postcard location, the Village of Cong sits between two lakes and is famous for its 12th century abbey, but more recently as the location of the Movie 'The Quiet Man' with John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara which even has a local museum.

'The Quiet Man' museum in the village can be visited if you wish before your return.

Finally, your guide will return you safely to your location in Galway and wish you fond memories of your day with us until next time!
