I like to bring the family out on sunny days in the summer to get a glimpse of nature that you can't see from the cites these days. It's open year-round, but the tourist information and other shops are only open during the peak of summer. There is no fee, but be aware they do close the barrier so if you are parked inside make sure to check when they close. If you haven't been, its well worth the visit. It's one of those places you can't really describe, but have to see sure.

Officially renamed in 1965 to John F. Kennedy Memorial Park, Eyre Square is a roughly rectangular…read morepark at the center of Galway. The naming is a tribute to his visit to Galway in June 1963 when he gave a speech here, stating "I must say that though other days may not be so bright, as we look toward the future, that the brightest days will continue to be those we spent with you here in Ireland." https://youtu.be/PqPlxXkcfHo Today, it is a bright and green space. Perfect for a picnic or just sitting on a blanket and watching the double decker buses as they rotate around the square. On the weekend, you can expect market vendor stalls to be set up with trinkets, coffee, pastries and much more. You'll find the sculpture of Pádraic Ó Conaire that was unveiled in 1935. It's a replica because some people suck. [Review 1944 of 2024 - 126 in Republic of Ireland - 22966 overall]

It was so…read moremuch fun and to us there was only the one walk, marked out with numbered stumps that we use to race each other to reach first. Today its the same but different. The one walk is not how I remember and there are no numbered stumps. But there are new path signs and many more walks, all of different distances and cycling as well as walking is encouraged. The weather on this occasion was fabulous, clear blue skies and a blazing sun, for February it was as good as it could get. But its not always sunny, the last time I was there in January it was milling rain. But it was still great. The trees, the deer (if you are lucky), the water fowl and the lake, this place is really enchanting. There are toilet facilities by the carpark, both of which are free. How good is that!

The Burren is a rocky landscape region that you can visit right on your way to the Cliffs of Moher…read more There is even a little outcropping of rocks that they call the Baby Cliffs (looking similar to the Cliffs of Moher but on a much smaller scale). When you're in the Burren, you'll honestly feel like you're in a Brontë novel, with a moorish feeling to the vista around you. We were there on a particularly rainy, cloudy, and foggy day - which added to the brooding nature of this rocky karst environment. You can see the Burren as you drive by/through it just fine, but you'd be doing a disservice to yourself to not step out of the car and smell the petrichor earth around you and see it with your own eyes and not through a window. You can stay longer in the Burren or make it a quick stop on your way to the larger cliffs, but you should definitely make the stop - however long you make it.
