Kinvara Bay

Highlight • Lake

Kinvara Bay is one of the most picturesque inlets of Galway Bay, where the deep blue water meets the grey limestone of The Burren. The centerpiece is the iconic Dunguaire Castle, which majestically towers from a rocky headland above the tide. The bay is known for its traditional wooden sailboats, the Galway Hookers, which bob here in the sheltered harbor against a backdrop of colorful village facades.

Temple Cronan Ruins

Highlight • Religious Site

There are no references to the builder or the history of this church. As is so often the case in the Irish countryside: you suddenly come across the picturesque remains of times long past. They belong to Ireland like the unmistakable nature. They are inextricably linked to the land and are accessible to everyone. History that you can experience up close. A visitor center doesn't always have to be there. Sometimes it is just like at Temple Cronan, this building from probably the 12th century: You can pause here in connection with the history, take a break, linger there and enjoy the atmosphere.
