Itinerary

Day 1: Dublin - Limerick- Bunratty Castle - The Cliffs of Moher - Galway
We visit Bunratty Castle and admission is included. The castle was completed in 1425 and, after many years of neglect, has been restored to its former glory. There is also a folk park here and some of the buildings in the village were dismantled at various locations in the region and rebuilt brick by brick at their present location. Even the 18th century church was relocated to its present position using this method!

Overnight in Galway city centre at a 3*/4* hotel

Day 2: Connemara - Kylemore Abbey - Dublin:
We pass through Maam Cross – The Connemara Crossroads – where we turn right towards the village of Maam and then down the Maam Valley to the village of Leenane where we have a coffee stop in this tiny village at the head of Ireland’s only Fjord, Killary Harbour.

Breakfast: You will receive breakfast in your 3*/4* hotel
