Day 6 – Stunning Kylemore Abbey and the historic Connemara Railway
We start our day with a visit to Kylemore Abbey, a spectacular
waterside Benedictine nunnery. Originally built in 1867, the abbey
is surrounded by dramatic mountains and lakes. After exploring the
abbey, we board the Connemara Railway to the coastal town of
Clifden and back.
This heritage railway takes us on a scenic ride through the
picturesque landscapes of western Ireland. During the nostalgic
journey, we indulge in tea and scones on the dining train as we
pass by wonderful countryside, rolling hills, and along the rugged
Atlantic coastline.
The rest of your day is at leisure in Galway. You could stroll
along the picturesque promenade of Salthill, join the coach into
the centre and experience the bustling Latin Quarter, or explore
the Galway City Museum. This evening there are plenty of
traditional pubs and award-winning restaurants where you could
enjoy dinner.
