Discovering the Savage Beauty of Ireland’s West Coast

Discovering the Savage Beauty of Ireland’s West Coast

We’re exploring Galway, Ireland’s BREATHTAKING natural beauty and charm. Galway is an incredibly charming and lively city on Ireland’s west coast. Today, we’re heading out into some of the incredible nature that surrounds it. Come along as we experience the savage beauty of the Connemara! This is a region that has all the ingredients: stunning views, pristine lakes, spectacular mountains, medieval history, movie magic, delicious local food, warm and friendly people…it’s all here and we’re bringing you along for the adventure. ✨ We are particularly excited to visit Aughnanure Castle, built in the late-1400s and full of stories. From there we’re checking out The Quiet Man Bridge, featured in the 1952 film starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara and directed by John Ford. We are also visiting Joyce Country Sheepdogs to take in a sheepdog demonstration by third generation sheepdog farmer Joe Joyce (whose border collies appeared in the 2008 film ‘Marley & Me’ starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson). Stick around as we also visit the village of Cong in County Mayo to see the Pat Cohan Bar, which also featured in The Quiet Man. We end the day at Cong Abbey whose century-old ruins are incredibly well preserved.

Have you been to Galway and the spectacular Connemara region? Would you like to visit?

We’re delighted to collaborate with Lally Tours on this trip to explore Galway, Ireland. ☘️
