Now that we have finished our tour of Co.Galway we still have three locations we think might be of interest to you so we have included them below.

Oranmore: Located approx 5 miles E of Galway on the N6 road.
Oranmore is a nice and picturesque little town located on the shore of Galway bay, the south of the city often known as 'oyster country' which is the main focus of the famed 'Galway international Oyster festival' which usually takes place late September. If you plan to visit Oranmore then perhaps a more fitting reason to visit would be for 'Rinville Forest Park' which is an attractive amenity open all year, the park is well worth visiting for a day out and picnic. It has an extensive amount of walks and many woodland trails, open farms with some fine views of Galway bay, the city of Galway and also the Burren of Co.Clare can also be seen. It is a great location for families as there are picnic areas available, a children's play area, a coffee shop is also available which is usually open in the summer season, this is a decent location for a day out.

Kinvara: Located approx 20 miles SW of Galway on the N67 road.
A popular location for day visitors from Galway, Kinvara is beautifully set on an inlet of Galway bay. A nice quayside village it overlooks 'Dunguaire Castle' which is a definate photo opportunity.
