What to expect
An unhurried drive on the roads less traveled where you will get to see the iconic stone walls, beautiful and rugged Maam Turk Mountains and charming Gaelic speaking villages.
Set in a dramatic landscape, Kylemore is an ideal destination for a day out. From its beginnings as a romantic gift in the 1860s to becoming home to the Benedictine Nuns in 1920, Kylemore is steeped in history and tales of tragedy, romance, engineering initiatives, model farms, royal visits, spirituality, and education. Experience the Victorian atmosphere of the restored rooms of the Abbey and neo-Gothic church. Explore the magical Victorian Walled Garden, nature trails and woodland walks. History talks and Garden tours throughout the summer. Dine-in Mitchells Cafe or the Garden Tea House or treat yourself to crepes and ice cream at our Express Cafe. Explore our magical Fairy Village and say hello to our Connemara Ponies and pet rare breed pigs. Shop for unique handcrafted gifts including chocolate, pottery, and beauty products handmade on site.
Justifiably famous for the views it affords, the Sky Road route takes you us among the hills overlooking Clifden Bay and its offshore islands, Inishturk and Turbot. This is a good vantage point to photograph the town of Clifden, with its two spires and perfect Twelve Bens backdrop.
A scenic drive back to Galway via South Connemara taking in the beautiful coastal drive passing through Inverin, Spiddal, and Barna. A stop at Standúns which is a unique family-run store that specializes in Irish gifts and fashion can also be done should you wish.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
