Kylemore Abbey in County Galway

Overview

Kylemore Abbey is one of the most popular attractions in Ireland, and for good reason. The Neo Gothic castle and church are truly a work of art. Stroll along the lake walk to the chapel, the jewel in the crown of Kylemore. It is a miniature cathedral of exquisite beauty.

 

The 2.5-hectare Victorian walled garden will conclude your group’s visit where they will be amazed at the splendour of its formal flower and kitchen garden, historical buildings and its 21 original glasshouses.
