A drive with the family from Dublin to Galway!
Galway, a harbour city on Ireland’s west coast, sits where the River Corrib meets the Atlantic Ocean. The city’s hub is 18th-century Eyre Square, a popular meeting spot surrounded by shops and traditional pubs that often offer live Irish folk music. Nearby, stone-clad cafes, boutiques and art galleries line the winding lanes of the Latin Quarter, which retains portions of the medieval city walls.

Dunguaire Castle near Kinvara - County Galway, Ireland
Dunguaire Castle in Kinvara - County Galway, Ireland - Sorry we named this Castle Oranmore Castle originally - but thanks to Joe in the comments below - who corrected our error :-) Shows you - too many castles in Galway! So next visit we need to visit this one again and also Oranmore Castle - hoping for good weather soon! :-)
It was built in 1520 by the O’Hynes clan on the picturesque shores of Galway Bay. In the early 17th century the castle passed into the hands of the Martyn’s of Galway. Richard Martyn, Mayor of Galway lived here until 1642 and the Martyn’s of Tulira Castle, owned the castle until this century.
Another castle added to our list to check out next visit is Oranmore Castle in County Galway, Ireland, is located, there is the Oranmore Castle Lodge, which is also known as the Monkey House, and which provides a panoramic view of the Galway Bay with its atmosphere from the sunsets, the bird life, the otters, and the seals. Oranmore lodge is found just across the laneway from the Oranmore Castle's organic garden. We definitely recommend this place for those who will come a long way and who will be staying at Galway for a couple of days.
The Galway bay which Dunguaire Castle is located near is the large bay on the west coast of Ireland, between county Galway in the province of Connacht to the North, to the Burren in county Clare in the province of Munster to the south. There are several small islands found across the bay since it is 50 kilometers long and from 10 to 30 kilometers wide. From these different other islands which are found on Galway Bay, you will remember the Aran Island which is considered one of the most famous. Galway in general is so famous in the Irish culture and has been even mentioned in several songs.
There are lots of places to visit in Northern Ireland and which combine between the historical buildings found there and the nature, such as the case with Oranmore Castle. In addition to this castle, you could also manage to visit other places in Galway, Ireland, such as the Cliffs of Moher, which will give you the chance to view Aran Islands as well from afar but only if the weather is clear (
Speaking of Galway and its attractions, we are very happy to share what we have seen even while we were on the way to it. On our way to Galway, we made a quick stop near Dromahair, Ballintogher, Ballygawley, and Manorhamilton; you could check that here and see what we have witnessed (
One would actually get astonished with the amount of things he/she could see in Galway, Ireland. Galway is considered the fourth most populous urban area in the Republic of Ireland and the sixth most populous city on the island of Ireland - which might be enough to explain the amount of things one always wants to visit in this place and why it gains all these likes and references.
One of the reasons why those who visit any of the places in Galway or even those too close are advised to stay in this city for some time is because of its simplicity and the live Irish music which is offered by the different traditional Irish hubs which are found there. In addition to these hubs, there are also some shops, stone-clad cafes, as well as the boutiques and art galleries which line the winding lanes of the Latin Quarter, which retains portions of the medieval city walls.
We really did love Dunguaire Castle and even enjoyed the souvenir shop which we entered there. To make this different for you, we also tried the 360 video of the Dunguaire Castle to give those who still don't know where they might visit the chance to consider themselves right inside that magical place!
If you have been to Dunguaire Castle Kinvara, before then share with us your experience; what you enjoyed and what are the things you didn't like much. If you are still in the phase of preparation and haven't been to the castle before then we hope that this video will give you the push and provide you with the tips and information you might need.

On this episode of Traveling with Krushworth
My first stop is Galway, County Galway
Before adventuring into the countryside.
Travel with me and walk the streets of this Irish-speaking city.
Immerse yourself in the music and culture
On a stroll through the Latin Quarter. Don’t miss the historic King’s Head Pub.
Sit for a while in Eyre Square, walk through the Spanish Arch
A part of the medieval system of walls, or cast a line into the River Corrib,
I’m in the medieval city of Galway
And as you can see, I’m walking down the heart of the centre itself.
There’s pubs, there’s buskers, there’s music everywhere.
There’s someone just setting up here.
It is an amazing place, but as I’m walking around
And showing you some of the things to see,
I hope you have a great time Traveling with Krushworth
Alright, thanks again and see you soon.
A city of faith both new and old, Galway has an ages-old medieval past.
The church of St. Nicholas, a saint revered by mariners
Was visited by Christopher Columbus in 1477.
Reflect upon the past, but the city truly lights up
When a favourite rugby team wins big.
So if you couldn’t tell, it’s Sunday and I found the weekend market.
Which takes place throughout in the summer time.
There’s food, there’s art vendors
It is quite the sight and it stretches on for quite a long ways.
Alright I’ll continue on. See you later.
Spend time at Salthill's oceanside promenades and then bid farewell to Galway.
Venture into the alien Burren region, a landscape inhabited
By early people for thousands of years.
The Burren in County Clare is an alien-like landscape
Known for its ancient inhabitants who scratched out their existence upon the rocks.
The Neolithic portal tomb at Poulnabrone stitches together a tapestry
Of Ireland’s first farmers, a society with archaic, but telling death rituals.
Upon your visit to medieval Kilfenora, it’s easy to see why
Travelers are enthralled with the religious high crosses.
Gaze at the Doorty Cross and marvel at the 12th century cathedral ruins.
Alright, well it was a long trip by bus
because of course, I can’t apparate like Dumbledore and Harry Potter did.
But if you guys are fans of Half Blood Prince, this was
One of the locations in the film for Voldemort’s Horcrux,
You know, the scene in the cave
But I’ll show you more as I’m walking around
See you later.
Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands
Continues to offer visitors a quintessential Irish experience
As soon as the ferry lands at the pier.
Before the adventure begins, travelers should
Explore quaint, picturesque Kilronan town.
For those who want to further connect with this ages-old landscape,
Rent a bicycle from the shop near the ferry dock before
Setting out for the island’s treasured hill fort, Dun Anghosa.
Populated since 3,000 BCE, the Aran Islands are a world of Stone Age forts
Wedge tombs, early Christian religious sites
And a land of storied tradition and immense heritage.
Climb the rocky hill to Dun Aonghosa, a stone fort originally built in 1,100 BCE.
Walk through the gates, and carefully stand, or crawl
To what the ancients saw as the world’s edge.
Perched precariously on this bleak outcropping overlooking the Atlantic Ocean
This must-see hill fort is a reminder of a turbulent past,
But also of a people who built an engineering marvel.

Galway - Ireland 2012
Video clips taken around Galway. With its numerous pubs, restaurants, shops, and street performers Galway has a unique charm.
Eyre Square, downtown Galway's central park contains the John F. Kennedy Park — established in memory of JFK who visited in 1963, a few months before he was assassinated.
'Gal' is an old Irish word for foreigner, making Galway the town of foreigners. It was just a medieval fishing until the 1200s, when the English came. These foreigners threw out the Irish and built a wall to fortify their town. The dispossessed Irish — now outside the wall — called the town Galway...town of foreigners.
13 Ireland West Coast Excursion Galway 1
After visiting the Cliffs of Moher, we drove across the limestone plateau of the Burren to the port city of Galway. Galway is a harbor city on Ireland's west coast. The city's hub is 18th century Eyre Square, a popular meeting place surrounded by shops and traditional pubs that often offer live Irish folk music. We explored the winding lanes of the Latin Quarter, which retains portions of the Medieval City Walls. We also visited the beautiful, Galway Cathedral.
At the Rathbaun Farm we were enchanted by the thatched cottage farm house with stone walls and large open peat fire. We spent time seeing what life is like day to day on a sheep farm. We had plenty of time to talk to the family, feed the lambs and see a sheep being sheared. We saw the sheep being expertly herded by the farm dog as the owner gave signals by whistling.
After the day outside, we were invited into the working cottage where we made and baked some delicious scones. We were also offered soda breads, preserves and tea. It was a wonderful setting for an enlightening and enjoyable experience.
The farm is in the west of Ireland with the Slieve Aughty Mountains to the South and the Atlantic Ocean to the West.
The music we chose for this video is Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart.

Oldest Building In Galway - Aran Sweater Market, Quay Street, Galway.
Historic & hugely exciting news has emerged from the site of our new Aran Sweater Market building in Galway City that is due to open in March 2018!
Archaeologists working on the restoration of the medieval 16 th century Aran Sweater Market building on Quay St. have discovered within the first evidence of what is believed to be of a castle dating from the early 13th Century and the oldest stone building in Galway city.
It is believed that the two metre thick stone walls formed part of Dún na Gaillimhe, a castle built by the De Burgo family in 1232. The walls will be preserved and encased in glass, they will be viewable to the public in our new flagship knitwear outlet when it opens in March 2018.
Commenting on the announcement, Colm Mac Carthy, Managing Director of Aran Sweater Market said:
“Aran knitwear is part of the cultural heritage of the Galway region and it is fitting that significant examples of our archaeological and cultural heritage will be presented together in the Aran Sweater Market on Quay Street for all to see. It will be the only location where the oldest and original castle walls are visible.
It's a perfect match and with our heritage knitwear it will form another great tourist attraction for visitors to the entire region. Galway's oldest walls will be preserved and encased in glass, they will be viewable within the restored Aran Sweater Market when it opens in March. The development is located in the very heart of Galway and will further enhance the city's unique culture and character.”

3D Medieval Athenry - Phase 1
A movie demonstrating an interactive 3D model of Medieval Athenry which aims to reconstruct how Athenry would have look in the late 16th century, just before the attack by Red Hugh O'Donnell in 1597 who destroyed much of the town. This is only phase I of the project. Athenry today has one of the best preserved town walls of any Irish walled town. This work has been developed by Realsim on behalf of Athenry Community Council Trust, The Heritage Council and Galway County Council and has been funded by the Heritage Council and Galway County Council.

10 Creepiest Haunted Places in Ireland
From the darkest jail in the world, to the castle that makes people leap, these are the 10 CREEPIEST Haunted Places in Ireland !
Subscribe to American Eye
5. Kyteler’s Inn
Ireland isn’t just home to ghosts but also witches! Don’t forget! This witch house is located in Kilkenny Ireland. A woman by the name of Alice Kyteler was born into a wealthy family in Ireland and was set to inherit even more riches from her husband eventually. She opened up this Inn, which is now an irish pub, made from stone as one of her investments. Life was happy for the most part, until her husband was found to be severely ill. Her family in law had accused her for for his illness claiming she used potions and spells to make him that way. She was brought to trial and was sent to see a bishop, but her family arrested him before he could do so. They hoped this would persuade him to forget about the incident but the bishop was just angered by this. He convicted her of sorcery and witchcraft and sent Alice to burn at the stake. This is Ireland’s first witch trial ever. Some believe she actually escape and hire someone to kidnap a woman who looked like her. The house she built is still celebrated in all its evil glory.
4. Rock of Cashel
It’s really hard to imagine a castle like this in Ireland not being haunted and the legends behind this place will certainly not disappoint paranormal enthusiasts. Located in the history medieval town of Tipperary, Ireland, this was reportedly near the site where St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave. Satan was so angry that his bit out a chunk of the mountainside, leaving a gap in the landscape. One of his teeth fell out and formed the hillside, where this castle is built. This well preserved castle was one of the tallest of its kind at 150 feet tall, when it was built in the 12th century. In the 17th century, the castle was set ablaze killing 800 citizens inside The castle is also located next to a huge cemetery, which is also most likely haunted, and houses the remains of soldiers from the bloody Irish Civil war. Many irish revolutionaries were from Tipperary Brigade, who fought hard for Irish independence.
3. Grace Neill’s Pub
This seems to be the perfect place to enjoy ireland’s two biggest pastimes, guinness beer and ghosts! This is one of Ireland’s Oldest functioning pubs and it’s located in the town of Donaghadee in County Down. Grace Neill’s Pub opened it’s doors in 1611 and was originally known as the King’s Arms until she obtained ownership. But just because she passed away in 1918 doesn’t mean she’s stopped working here. Many believe that this woman was so dedicated to her work that she can open be spotted doing things like filling up people’s glasses more guiness, turning the lights off and moving furniture around late in the evening. Come have a pint, if you dare!
2. Kilmainham Jail
Located in the capital of Ireland, Dublin, this is a place you really don’t want to stay the night! It’s the largest unoccupied jailhouse in Ireland today. It was in operation from 1787 to 1924 and children as young as 7 years old here served time. During Ireland’s potato famine, many would intentionally break the law, hoping to come here and get a meal. It’s most notorious due to the fact that 14 Irish leaders was executed behind the jail walls by firing squad, gaining martyr like reputation in the process. Many pro independence fighters were kept here and maybe they still are. Unexplainable paranormal events continued happening when a crew was sent to restore the historical building. .
1.The Leap Castle
Often referred to as the most haunted castle in Ireland, the reason why it’s so haunted seems to be rather clear. This is found in Coolderry County about four miles north of Roscrea. This was built by the O'Carroll clan in the 13th century to claim the fertile land around it. Many disputes began to take place in 1532 within the clan about who was to become leader after their main chieftain had passed away. The dispute came to a bloody end and was solved in a gruesome fashion. A few members of the clan planned an all out ambush, during a supposed peace gathering and it’s said that one of them even took the life of his own brother. Today, people have claimed to feel the presence of pure evilness, especially in the place where the massacre took place, known as the “the Bloody Chapel”. Cartloads of human bones were also removed from here a while ago from the dungeon and even reports of a red ghost. The list goes on, and this is clearly one of the most haunted places on the mysterious Emerald Island
