Ireland West

Visiting the West of Ireland is an excellent opportunity to experience all that Ireland has to offer in one holiday – whether it’s enjoying the unrivalled scenery, cruising through gentle waterways or visiting international arts festivals. And then there’s the nightlife to help you relax after a busy day of sightseeing, with traditional Irish music in cosy local pubs and amazing seafood in some of Ireland’s finest restaurants. The counties Galway, Mayo and Roscommon make up the region of Ireland West.
Galway is just one of those magical places that everyone wants to visit and where there's so much to see and do - medieval banquets at Dunguaire Castle, the Oceans Alive sea life centre, a visit to Glengowla Mines, walking, fishing, sailing and surfing.
Largely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the county of Mayo boasts a stunningly beautiful unspoilt environment and a popular attraction for visitors. History comes alive at the world famous Céide Fields near Ballycastle in North Mayo, at The Foxford Woollen Mills, Hennigans Heritage and museums including the new National Museum of Ireland Country Life just outside Castlebar. Another highlight is Croagh Patrick, Ireland’s holy mountain with the starkly beautiful National Famine Memorial at its foot. There are numerous sporting and outdoor opportunities, especially fishing of all sorts including on the world famous River Moy in Ballina where the salmon is king.
