I decided to check out Killary Cruises after a 10€ LivingSocial for a fjord cruise conveniently…read morepopped up while staying in Galway. Not knowing that Ireland even had a fjord, I was pleasantly surprised by both this knowledge and the cruise itself. The staff are nice and incredibly friendly. The ship is a seaworthy catamaran, and the fjord is breathtaking on a sunny afternoon. The cruise has a decent commentary, and if all the talk of farming mussels and fishing whet your appetite, the food on board is cheap and surprisingly good. A sandwich, a panini and two cokes were less than 13€, and both came with salads. The only negative? Right before departure a tour bus pulled up and deposited 50 or so day-trippers from Galway City. While typically uninterested in the commentary and obnoxious like most tourists who book coach tours in a country as difficult to navigate as a kiddie pool, they were merely an annoyance on board. Pro Tip: Leenane, the town just down the road, looked to have a couple of nice shops and pubs, so if you're looking for a proper meal after the cruise I imagine you'd be able to find something worthwhile there.

It was a fine summer day and we'd driven from Bangor Erris through the most stunning scenery…read moreimaginable on some of the worst narrow roads imaginable. We crossed the Michael Davitt bridge onto Achill island and drove past a mobile Ulster bank van. We had Keel as our destination as we negotiated the narrow roads and meandering sheep who were everywhere and who see tourists as an inconvenience. The entire experience was a tad spooky as despite being a fine day in early summer the entire island was shrouded in mist the whole time we were there and we were there about three hours. We chose Keel as my wife used to holiday here as a child. Her family arrived with a tent to a caravan park and pitched up 15 yards from the wild Atlantic. Travelling west from here the next land is the USA. We got to Keel and the caravan park and we walked along the beach with the mighty blue/green Atlantic Ocean roaring at us as my wife relived fond memories of a stark, haunting very beautiful wilderness. Hard to believe that this stark, rugged island has been continuously inhabited from 4,000 years BC. Wow now that's impressive.

The castle was so lovely and I enjoyed walking through the worker buildings and imagining how people lived back in the day. This was such an enjoyable day!! Oh! I should mention if you don't want to walk from the castle to the gardens they do have a tram to drive you over. The shop and dining was great too!! The food was surprisingly good!! Love, love, love this place!

Just like a fairy tale, the quintessential view of the Abbey materializes when you least expect it…read more The overwhelming amount of "oooh's" and "awww's" from the people around you isn't surprising; the view simply takes your breath away. If I were asked to think of somewhere that epitomizes a fairy tale, it would be a toss-up between Kylemore Abbey and Neuschwanstein Castle - both are stunning in their own way. Absolutely plan a visit and tour - a walk around the property is what ethereal dreams are made of. Nature, Wildlife, flora, and fauna, you will get your fill...and still want more. Plenty of interest here especially if you make it a day trip for the history and nature lovers. The whole experience felt like we were stepping into a storybook. We'd visit again even if it were to simply roam the landscape.
