Walking Tour of County Galway, Ireland
One of the best ways to enjoy a trip is to move at a leisurely pace. And when you take a walking tour of County Galway in Ireland, a leisurely pace is just the thing.
County Galway is situated in the very west of Ireland, between the ocean and mountains. This means that you have the opportunity to enjoy some great hiking even as you enjoy sea and mountain views, enjoy learning about Irish culture and history and, of course, take advantage of the lively pubs.
Start your journey in Galway City, Ireland’s third largest, and then move from there. Connemara National Park allows you to experience a blanketed bog, Ireland style, as you explore pools and islands, and catch glimpses of the Atlantic Ocean. You can also see the impressive Twelve Bens. You can either ascend the Bens, or you can take the Western Way to wind your way through the Maamturks.
Other highlights include such rustic and picturesque towns as Cong and Clifden, which feature castles and abbeys to look at. Don’t forget the island Inishbofin (take the ferry from Cleggan).
