Things to see and do Connacht

This th century Dominican abbey in ruins deserves a small hook, at least for the surrounding landscape. It is surrounded by the extension of a tiny coiled sea arm that looks like a river lined with algae…

Photos and documents related to the history of Westport and the region in a th century building. A genealogy service is also proposed.

Built in the th century, this residence is located in a beautiful park traversed by a watercourse punctuated by locks. The façade, a little grey, does not augur for the interior luxury of this master house. Fans of furniture will be seduced, and those who love a little fed paint. Children will be particularly at ease: playground, pet, small train (these last attractions are open in April, May and June on weekends, and every day in July and August).

A small forest path leads to Giant's Grave, a beautiful Neolithic tomb (couloir tumulus) that could be that of a giant lost in full nature. This mound appears to cover two burial chambers. The stone of the main tomb is deeply festivity.

This canal would be of more than relative interest… without the sad anecdote of its construction. It was excavated to link two lakes (Lough Corrib and Lough Mask) during the Great Famine. But the day of the inauguration, the water had barely sunk that the porous bed absorbed it…

The only Trinitarien monastery in Ireland, it was founded in 1230. 

The Franciscan Abbey was founded in 1464 by Thomas FitzMorris, seventh Earl of Kildare. The ruins, lost in the middle of the golf course at Adare Manoir, are no longer known.

The Augustinian priory was founded in 1316 by the first Earl of Kildare, John FitzThomas FitzGerald, and closed under Henry VIII. In 1807, the church of the priory was given to the Egilse of Ireland, and then in 1814 the dining was transformed into a school.
