South Galway

Experience the gentle Gulf Stream waters of Galway Bay and its safe and sandy beaches, villages of seafarers and of course, Traditional Irish music sessions.

Here the voices of the Celtic Revival echo through the woods at Coole, from 'Yeat's Tower', Thoor Ballylee. and from the walls and windows of St. Brendans Cathedral.

Visit the magical Aran Islands to the west or the great fishing and cruising lakes to the east.

The ruins of ancient castles and abbeys are there for the exploring and traditional medieval banquets are held at Dún Guaire Castle, Kinvara.

In South Galway summer is the time for festivals. The Cruinniú na mBád summer sea festival and Fleadh ná gCuach, (The Cuckoo Flead), both in Kinvara, together with the Clarinbridge Oyster Festival and Galway Arts Festival draw crowds to the region year after year.
