You can spend time here getting to know your fellow travellers in the many pubs and restaurants in this beloved town.

Day 2: Connemara & Killary fjord

Connemara is the heartland of Ireland for many, it holds the dreamy image of Ireland many picture in their minds.We will visit Connemara National Park and make some photo stops along the way including at Kylemore Abbey, a romantic monastery set among the mountains and lakes. We will then see the working man's view of Connemara when we visit a mountain sheep farm. See a sheep dog demonstration, and maybe have the chance to shear some sheep! Afterwards, you will do the famous 'Famine Walk' along Killary Harbour where Irish families were ordered to build paths during the famine years in exchange for food.

Firstly a megalithic tomb that still stands 5000 years on and the deserted village of Slievemore.Then, be amazed by one of Ireland's most hidden treasures at Keem Bay. You can either swim in the bay or walk along the high sea cliffs with amazing Atlantic views. Afterwards, we will leave Achill by bike and you will experience the Great Western Greenway - an old railway line used by the English gentry.
