OVERVIEW

Visit a traditional farm and pause for photos of a 16th-century castle and a contemporary cathedral, all of which offer a historical perspective of Galway. A meandering drive through the gorgeous countryside will bring you to the centuries-old Rathbasun Farm. While savoring fresh-baked scones and hot tea, you will learn how the Connolly family farms the land and raises sheep for shearing. You might also hand-fed the lambs and watch a sheepdog demonstrate its herding skills. Nearby, you will find Dunguaire Castle, which was built in 1520 on a rocky outcrop overlooking Galway Bay. The setting is inspirational, one reason Irish literary figures such as W.B. Yeats and George Bernard Shaw often met here. Galway Cathedral, the last stone church built in Ireland, is another architectural treasure. The design is considered eclectic as it features an Italianate dome, a Romanesque stone interior, a Byzantine tower and Gothic rose windows.
