The Famine Village Walk
Hundreds of people left from Galway Docks for England, America and Australia. Many of the ships reached port having lost nearly a third of their passengers to hunger and disease. Others too weak to leave ended their days in the Galway or Clifden workhouse. The Quakers did much to help in the area and founded 'soup kitchens' in an effort to alleviate the poverty and suffering. The result of the famine was that the social and cultural structure of Connemara was changed forever. Landlords were bankrupted, small farms amalgamated and the Irish language had begun to disappear. Take the opportunity to step back in time as you walk through the ruins of the Famine Village. | more
The Burren
The Burren is in the North of County Clare in the West of Ireland. It covers an area of over 350 square kilometers. It is bounded in the north by Galway Bay, in the west by the Atlantic Ocean, in the south by a line across the villages of Doolin and Kilfenora, and finally in the east by the Gort lowlands.
‘The Burren’ is an anglicisation of the Gaelic term ‘An Bhoireann’ which means “a stony place”. | more

The Islands’ raw beauty and charm leaves visitors longing to return again and again. | more
Meet the Quiet Man!
Now, I'll begin at the beginnin'. A fine soft day [Irish for 'it's raining or misting'] in the spring it was when the train pulled into Castletown three hours late as usual, and himself got off. He didn't have the look of an American tourist at all about him. Not a camera on him. And what was worse, not even a fishing rod. | more
Kylemore Abbey and Gardens
Kylemore Abbey, built in 1868, is one of the great baronial-style Castles remaining in Ireland and it's six acre Victorian walled garden, created by Mitchel Henry in tandem with the building of Kylemore Castle (now Kylemore Abbey) is one of Ireland's finest gardens.
In 1920, the Castle was turned into an Abbey when it was purchased by the Irish Benedictine nuns. Visitors to the three reception rooms in the Abbey are touched by its history, steeped in romance and tragedy.
The craft shop features the work of well-known Irish makers of pottery, jewellery, knitwear and much more. | more
Barnacles is situated in the heart of Galway on the pedestrian street Quay Street. During the day it is a maze of shops and cafes and when the sun goes down it is the centre of Galway's nightlife with traditional music floating down the streets. | Visit
