Dublin to Clifden

Delight in western Galway on a full-day trip to Connemara, Cong and Kylemore Abbey from Dublin. Take a coach journey to western Ireland, and admire Connemara’s glorious lakes, mountains and villages as your driver-guide tells tales of the region’s history, folklore and nature. Drive through the hidden Lough NaFooey valley and view Killary Fjord on the Atlantic coast. Visit Cong, a backdrop for the 1950s movie ‘The Quiet Man’, and get time to explore the village independently, before enjoying discounted admission to the lakeside Kylemore Abbey and Victorian Walled Garden.

Swap Dublin for the wild beauty of western Ireland on this rail and coach day trip to County Galway and Connemara. After traveling by train to Galway city, take a scenic coach tour around Galway Bay and the unspoiled Connemara region. Drive through breathtaking mountain-and-lakes scenery and visit the pretty coastal towns of Clifden and Roundstone. See romantic Kylemore Abbey set on a Connemara lake, and pass remote Atlantic beaches, thatched villages and deserted coves before returning to Dublin by train. Round-trip rail and coach travel are included.
