Tourist Attractions & Monuments Ireland

From Carrowmore, we guess the tumulus of Knocknarea, whose legend wants him to be the gigantic tomb of Queen Maeve. The team of Swedish archeologists who took care of the Carrowmore site thought that this construction was going back to 3000 BC and that the tumulus could conceal a corridor passage. In any case, the air we receive from the top of these 300 meters is a high spirituality (the ascension lasts three good hours of hour from the parking lot).

The ruins of this Gothic revival-style castle, invaded by thick ferns, have a great deal of look. They would probably not have become as famous if they had not served as a cover for a U 2 album, The Unforgettable Fire, released in 1984. A pilgrimage place for all the fans…

A superb 25 km scenic road linking Glencolmcille to Ardara passes through Glengesh Pass (Gleann Géis in Gaelic, which means «Glen des Cygnes»). By approaching the Heritage Town of Ardara, we recommend a stop to the wonderful beach of Maghera.

The largest medieval church in Ireland, built by the Lynch family around 1320, is dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Myra, patron of the sailors. Since the occupation of Galway by the English with Cromwell in 1652, it is a Protestant church.

The "Salmon Dam Bridge" (literally translated) was built in 1818 to connect the court to the cathedral, but also to connect with the main road in Connemara. From this bridge you can see the fly fishermen and, in May-June, salmon from the sea to the lakes.

On the shores of Lough Corrib, this is what remains of a th century fort known as Ceann na Bhalla ("End of the Wall"). Its current name, Spanish Arch, dates back to the last century, at the time of trade with Spain.

Two different exhibitions: the Great Famine Commemoration Exhibition tells the Great Famine of the 1840 s that hit Skibbereen dramatically (10 000 victims are buried near Skibbereen); the Lough Hyne Visitor Center details the history of Lough Hyne, Ireland's first natural marine reserve. This lake houses many varieties of marine plants and animals, including rare species. Audiovisual in French.

A Catholic church built between 1859 and 1864 by architect Charles Francis Hansom. Its interior presents colorful stained glass, an impressive organ and a magnificent wooden roof on which fourteen angels are sculpted. These carved elements were made with wood imported from the Black Forest in Germany.

This covered market, in service since 1852, located in the center, provides an opportunity to taste good local products: Cheeses, chutneys, meats…

Lovers of the sea will love. Not to bathe, but to smell the spray. The waves come to a halt, against layers of sandstone that form huge plateaus in the strike. In the surrounding area everything is desert, it even seems that the birds have abandoned fighting the wind…

Unlike a classical zoo, most animals move freely in large open spaces of Fota Wildlife Park, opened in 1983. This visit offers the opportunity to observe the wildlife from here and elsewhere.
