Connemara, Galway, Ireland - Ireland Vacation in Galway
Connemara, Galway is the new destination to head for and this video is all about walking through the area, getting introduced to the different shops and restaurants which are located there and at the same time visiting some of the parks which are located there. We stayed in Clifden town in Galway - which is in the centre of Connemara.
Connemara is a cultural region in county Galway, Ireland and the most famous town in it is Clifden which is always referred to as the capital of Connemara for its size ( This area - Connemara - consists of west Galway, which is the part of the county west of Lough Corrib, contained by Killary Harbour, Galway Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean.
After saying goodbye to the apartment which we took in Connemara in order to enjoy the vacation we have been on, we went through the streets of the town and came across some of the places which we found suggested by those who have been there before, such as the Connemara Heritage and History Centre which is placed in Clifden, the Marconi Station in Clifden where the Alcock and Brown landing site is also located, there is the Clifden Castle, the Aughnanure Castle which is found in Oughterard, and other places which you could visit according to the place you are going to be staying at and which is close to you.
While walking through these different shops, we entered some and one of them got the attention of the kids who kept walking through the toys and even chose to buy a toy instead of getting ice cream - which was a tough decision to take but they eventually made their minds - adults were the ones to choose ice cream at that point and leave the kids for the toys.
We then moved forward with the trip to reach the national park in which we walked there, got inside the visitor centre and were introduced to all the different information that were written inside there and which were shown to us through different ways, like pictures and real examples and where we also got the chance to know more about the old stories of the witches and fairies. It was really interesting inside this visitor centre for the kids who were receiving different information in a more interesting and well-informing way.
Completing the journey we have started in Connemara, we then moved forward to reach all those other nature destinations which we fell in love with and loved the way we managed to take videos of - drone - before we headed to the next and final place which we were going to visit - the most important thing to mention here is the views which one will get while driving from one place to the other; we were enjoying the visit from every single possible angle.
The second park we visited during our trip to Connemara was more of climbing a hill to reach the top and see what it has to offer us. This was also interesting since one of the most famous things known about Connemara is its marble stone, which we managed to get across some on our walk through this hill. The whole thing was different and even the views we managed to collect on this trip were all very natural - we will never get over the photos we have taken and those videos we also brought back home with us.
There are lots of things which we discovered about Connemara, such as the fact that it carries some linguistics traditions as being one of the largest Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) regions that locals use on a daily basis. This will be interesting for those who want to learn this language or even want just to see how people are dealing with it - it is not that easy though. It is not just about the language which the people of Connemara are using, but there are actually lots of differences found in this region which are related to history as well as to their musical interests.
Tourists or visitors to the place - just like us - might not have that much time to learn a language, but they could enjoy listening to the way people talk and deal with one another and they will also get the chance to enjoy getting introduced to those different tastes in music and any other thing - and that's of course after passing by the cultural places and those historical destinations related to the touristic experience which they will be coming in the first place in order to have and know more about.
Since Connemara is part of Galway, it is important to mention that there are different other places which we have been to in Galway before, such as being to the Oranmore Castle ( being to Turoe Pet Farm which was more interesting for the kids ( as well as those beautiful scenes we got the chance to see on the road to Galway ( which was one of our favorite.

The Big Wood Kylemore Abbey Ireland
Not the most popular destination to see in Ireland but this place is worth the visit for sure. One of the big differences between here and a lot of other places in Ireland is the massive amount of trees covering the mountains and gardens in the area. The castle built in Victorian style has stood the test of time, but not without service and upkeep. Because of its location this place gets absolutely pounded with rain but that's also what makes it so enchanting with moss and old growth forest engulfing the grounds. As always when exploring Ireland don't forget your rain gear. The monastery founded in 1920 on the grounds of Kylemore Castle was for Benedictine Nuns who fled Belgium in World War I. Here is a brief history:
Kylemore Castle was built in 1868 as a private home for the family of Mitchell Henry, a wealthy doctor from London whose family was involved in textile manufacturing in Manchester, England. He moved to Ireland when he and his wife Margaret purchased the land around the Abbey, after having travelled there on their honeymoon in the mid 1840s. He became a politician, becoming an MP for County Galway from 1871 to 1885. The castle was designed by James Franklin Fuller, aided by Ussher Roberts. The construction of the castle began in 1867, and took the total of one hundred men and four years to complete. The castle covered approximately 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) and had over seventy rooms with a principal wall that was two to three feet thick. The facade measures 142 feet (43 m) in width and is made of granite brought from Dalkey by sea to Letterfrack and from limestone brought from Ballinasloe. There were 33 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 4 sitting rooms, a ballroom, billiard room, library, study, school room, smoking room, gun room and various offices and domestic staff residences for the butler, cook, housekeeper and other servants. Other buildings include a Gothic cathedral and family mausoleum containing the bodies of Margaret Henry, Mitchell Henry and a great grand-nephew.
The Abbey remained in Henry's estate after he returned to England. The castle was sold to the Duke and Duchess of Manchester in 1909, who resided there for several years before being forced to sell the house and grounds because he lost it in a poker game. In 1920, the Irish Benedictine Nuns purchased the Abbey castle and lands after they were forced to flee Ypres, Belgium during World War I. The nuns, who had been based in Ypres for several hundred years, had been bombed out of their Abbey during World War I. The nuns continued to offer education to Catholic girls, opening an international boarding school and establishing a day school for girls from the locality. The school acted as the main educator for most girls from Renvyle, Letterfrack and further afield for almost a century but it was forced to close in June 2010.[1] The nuns have since been developing new education and retreat activities.
The Estate includes large walled Victorian Gardens. Since the 1970s these have been open for public tours and 'nature' walks. The Benedictine community has restored the Abbey's gardens and Cathedral with donations and local artisans in order to be a self-sustaining estate. However the garden is a shell of it's original grandeur, it used to boast 8-10 full time gardeners working on food for the entire estate including 6 full greenhouses, now there are only 2 greenhouses and a fraction of the grounds planted.

Connemara/Ross Errilly Friary/Kylemore Abbey-Great Day Trip from Galway!
On this great day trip from Galway, we saw scenic Connemara, the well preserved Ross Errilly Friary, and the beautiful Kylemore Abbey and surrounding grounds. However, perhaps the highlight of the video is my sneezing fit at the beginning of the video, and my niece's humorous singing version of Tomorrow from Annie.
Connemara is one of the more scenic areas of Ireland, with its rolling green hills and lakes. The Ross Errilly Friary is a well-preserved medieval Franciscan friary that was founded in the mid-15th century and whose history features the imprisonment and killing of monks. The Kylemore Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded on the grounds of a castle. There are many legends surrounding the abbey, lake, and giant stone.
