Kylemore Abbey

September 25th, 2006

Located in Connemara in County Galway, Kylemore Abbey is a stunning location for any visitors exploring the area. The huge Gothic-style Abbey was built by Mitchell Henry as a gift for his wife, and it stands amongst the stunning landscape of the Twelve Ben Mountains. The Henrys planted thousands of trees, as well as orchards and exotic gardens. Today, Kylemore Abbey acts as a Benedictine convent, but visitors can still explore the lovely gardens and streamside walk. The Abbey also boasts a lovely restaurant and craft shop.  For a complete list of all restaurants in Galway click now.
