Overview of your Galway tour

Discover the most breath taking views of Connemara from Diamond Hill, one of the Twelve Bens Mountain range. We can take 1 hour to hike the lower trail or two hours to hike the upper trail. Fitness levels can be discussed at time of booking. Stop for lunch in Veldons bar in Letterfrack. 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.
