Kylemore Abbey sits proudly on the western coast of Central Ireland. Make
your way to County Galway in Connacht Province. It is there, overlooking the
water, that you'll come across this lovely structure.
To get to the abbey and its walled Victorian gardens from Dublin Airport, the journey by car can take over three hours. The drive is due west on the M4 and the M6 until you reach Galway, and then N59 bring you right to Connemara and the abbey itself.
Here are some fun facts about this amazing Irish landmark. Hopefully they will entice you to pay a visit in person!
But if that is not possible, you can always use them to impress your friends with your knowledge of one of the most-visited attractions in Ireland.
You can find more information about this lovely Irish landmark here.
It is probably obvious - at Irish Expressions, we love Irish castles! The Emerald Isle is dotted with hundreds of these incredible structures.
Sharing pictures and stories about them gives us a deeper sense of connection with Ireland, wherever in the world we happen to be!
We have captured the most amazing pictures and descriptions of Irish castles in an e-book we call "An Illustrated Guide to Irish Castles and Abbeys."
This fun, free guide is available to you to download. Scroll to the bottom of this page and enter your email to get instant access!
Great question! As you can see, exploring the castles of Ireland offers many opportunities
for enjoying an Irish experience and expressing your personal Irish
side!
For more information of this kind, you might pay a visit to our section on Ireland Sightseeing here!
One way to share your love of Ireland is by displaying your family coat of arms (family crest). A very personal symbol of the stories and accomplishments of your ancestors can adorn clothing, kitchenware, wall art, personal accessories and so much more.
