Connemara, Sky Road, Kylemore Abbey, Ireland
Connemara, Ireland features the Sky Road scenic drive and Kylemore Abbey, set amid beautiful green hills lined with stone walls in the west of Ireland. It is a region of coastal views, rolling farmlands, open meadows, winding country roads, and the big attraction, Kylemore Abbey, which is one of Ireland’s great castles that was a former private estate, then a girl’s school operated by Benedictine nuns.
Kylemore Abbey has become the most popular visitor attraction in the west of Ireland, famous for its beautiful mansion on the lake and extensive gardens all around -- certainly one of the most beautiful sites you’ll ever see.
The Abbey is easily reached on a day-trip from Galway city, which makes an ideal home base for exploring the majestic beauties of this area. You’ll find that Galway is a great town for strolling along its pedestrian main street with many shops and restaurants, including numerous pubs with live Irish music on offer. There are many fine hotels in Galway in a variety of price ranges to give you a good place to rest.
It’s just a quick look at Galway for now, which we show more of in our other Irish movies, then we’ll take you on a spectacular drive through Connemara and around the famous Sky Road, with some of the best views in Ireland, on our way to Kylemore Abbey, the main star of this show.
You’ll see that getting there is half the fun, driving north from Galway through the scenic grandeur of Connemara, passing through the villages of Moycullen and Oughterard, then stopping at Ballynahinch Castle Hotel.
That Sky Road scenic loop follows the famous coastal route west of the town of Clifden, with miles of stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and shoreline communities. We did quite a bit of stopping and getting out of the van while driving through Connemara to enjoy the landscape, take a good look at and snap some pictures, and stop for some shopping at a traditional Irish gift shop.
Kylemore Abbey is one of the great highlights of Ireland. It was a former private mansion. And then it was a Benedictine Abbey, and became a private school for girls, and now it’s a major tourist attraction as you can see because it's so beautiful here on the lake. There is also a large flower garden, two places to eat, and lovely walking paths to explore the extensive grounds and stroll along the lakeshore. It really is a wonderful spot to see in Ireland.
Probably the best part of the visit is simply looking at the Abbey across the beautiful lake. But you also get to go inside and tour the former mansion, and explore the surrounding property.
The Catholic girl school was operated by Benedictine nuns and it was open from 1923 until it closed in 2010. There's still an order of Benedictine nuns who live here and operate the facilities. We had a chance to speak with Sister Magdalena, one of the nuns who tells us about the Abbey.
You could walk from the Abbey to the gardens, but it is about half a mile. And so they provide a shuttle bus to bring you from the Abbey over to the garden. You can walk around and then take the bus back again.
As described on their excellent website, the Victorian Walled Garden is an oasis of splendor in the wild Connemara Countryside. First developed in the early days of the Castle during the late 1800s it once boasted 21 heated glass houses and a work force of 40 gardeners. One of the last walled gardens built during the Victorian period in Ireland.
In earlier years the garden fell into decline and became completely overgrown, with brambles and trees hiding all traces of it’s former glory. The Benedictine nuns began an extensive program of restoration in 1995 and in the year 2000 the Garden was opened to the public. The Garden is divided in two by a beautiful mountain stream that runs through a small shaded fernery, an important feature of any Victorian Garden.
We then finish with a music video showing more of the scenic landscapes of Connemara and the Sky Road.
Top things to do in Northern Ireland - The Gobbins Path
Top things to do in Northern Ireland - The Gobbins Path
In this video we continue to explore the sights of Northern Ireland and arrive at the Gobbins Path. We were so lucky with the weather, as you can see by the footage taken and we had another day of pure blue skies.
The Gobbins Path is located just north of Belfast and is a walk way along the cliffs, with great views and an attraction that is really unlike any other.
The day at the Gobbins Path starts with a briefing from your guide. We had a guide called Gerald, and he was absolutely awesome and such a lovely guy. If you see Gerald giving your pre walk briefing you're in for a great day.
After the briefing you jump onto a mini bus for a short drive to the start of the walk. The hill down to the path is steep so walking down and back up at the end is good exercise but the rest of the walk is at a slow relaxed pace and you keep stopping as you're guide explains things as you go along.
We had a really enjoyable day the Gobbins path walk really was amazing. If you are in Belfast and have transport and are looking for the top things to do then the Gobbins definitely falls in that. We had a fab time and wouldn't hesitate saying that it is one of the top attractions in Northern Ireland , even though it is not as well known as some of the other attractions.

Ireland Vacation with Paddywagon Tours - July 2018
In July 2018 Nicole and I traveled all over Ireland! We started in Dublin then set out on the 6-day All Ireland tour. Our guide Rory was a great entertainer and tourist-wrangler, and we got to see a TON of sights, locations, and cities. We got to visit ublin, Belfast, Derry, Letterkenny, Galway, Killarney, Dingle... and saw the Titanic Museum, Giant's Causeway, Cliffs of Moher, Slea Head Drive, Blarney Castle... and a whole lot more. A very tiring week for sure, but well worth the effort.
Top things to do in Northern Ireland - Top Sights along the coastal road
Top things to do in Northern Ireland - Ultimate Guide
In this video we continue to explore the best sights of Northern Ireland and drive up Northern Irelands costal route. We were so lucky with the weather, as you can see by the footage taken and we had another day of pure blue skies.
If you are in Belfast, have transport and are looking for the top things to do then look no further - this video will show you our best sites & attractions along the coastal road that we saw.
As we drove along Northern Irelands costal road - we stopped for lunch at Carnlough Harbour. What a wonderful scenic spot -Chris couldn't resist getting the drone shots of the harbour.
We stopped at White Park Bay and if your looking for an amazing white sand beach - then look no further - the bright blue skies make the footage and views even better.
On the north east corner of Northern Ireland is Torr Head - wow what wonderful views and it was well worth the drive and the short walk to the top of Torr Head.
Then we drove to Ballycastle and stopped for a great icecream and a walk along the seafront.
On our way tothe Giant's Causeway we stopped at Dunseverick castle and we were so pleased we did it was a really nice spot with walks along the cliff and we got some great drone shots.
The we arrived at the famous Giants Causeway. We arrived after the visitor centre was closed and so the admission was free of charge. We arrived at a perfect time and golden hour was upon us - the best time for filming - it was very quiet at this time of night and we had a nice relaxed walk down and again managed to fly the drone . - something that I don't think we would have been able to do during the normal opening hours.
We ended our day at the famous road - The Dark Hedges - which featured on the TV series - The Game of Thrones. I had heard that the road is normally full of photographers and it was hard to get a good shot - we arrived late in the evening and there was only one other couple there so we managed to get some great shots with no one else in the shot !!
We had a fab time and wouldn't hesitate saying that all of these sights are part of the top attractions in Northern Ireland.
