Private Connemara and Cong Day Tour with Kylemore Abbey
Overview
Discover stunning landscape and explore ancient lands in a luxury vehicle. Cong is home to a 12th century Abbey, exile of the last High King of Irelan, Rory O' Connor.
Walk through Cong woods to the Monks fishing cottage on the edge of Lough Corrib. Did you know that Cong is also the location of The Quiet Man movie starring John Wayne and Maureen O Hara? Discover the breathtaking landscape of Connemara and the majestic Killary Fjord.
Visit Ireland's most romantic building, Kylemore Abbey, from the late 19th century, home of the Benedictine Order of Nuns in Ireland. Optional visit to the Abbey, Neo-Gothic Church, Mausoleum and Victorian Walled Garden.
No visit to Kylemore would be complete without a visit to the Ironing Stone, a magical giant's wishing stone located on the Eastern avenue.
Return to Galway via the Inagh Valley, Oughterard and Moycullen.
