The beautiful city of Galway has many things to do and see. Here are just a few:
Nature and Walking
Rinville Forest Park
Rinville Forest Park is created around an ancient castle, a stately home and a fine estate demesne, which dates from the 16th century. With an extensive network of walks through woodlands, open farmland and by the sea, the Park offers a recreational facility of outstanding quality and beauty. See here for more information.
The Western Way
Starting in the angler’s town of Oughterard on Lough Corrib, it follows the western edge of the lake, one of the longest, and the second largest lakes in Ireland, northwards into a magnificent wilderness of mountain and bog to the village of Maam Bridge. From Maam Bridge the route crosses the rugged Maumturk Mountains by a pass, at the top of which is Maum Ean. Descending again into Inagh Valley the route passes between the Twelve Bens and the Maumturks, to reach the shores of Killary Harbour and the picturesque village of Leenane.

Visit to Connemara
The distinct region of Connemara is located in the north west corner of County Galway. Connemara's breathtaking landscape is a mixture of unspoilt rivers, lakes, woodlands, rich meadowlands, rugged hills, dramatic mountains and stunning coastline of sandy beaches and crystal blue waters.
