About this activity

Connemara comes from an early tribe known as Conmacne Mara loosely translated as “ tribe of the sea”. It is a place of spectacular beauty. You'll be so far west that even the sheep have right-of-way on the roads. Connemara is a place with no borders, you’ll just know you’ve arrived!

Kylemore Abbey

Built in 1867 as a private home by Mitchell Henry as a gift to his wife, Kylemore Abbey is regarded as one of the most romantic places in Ireland. It was later bought by Lord and Lady Manchester but today is run by Benedictine Nuns. The castle is nestled in the mountains on the edge of a lake which makes for a wonderful photo stop.
