We visited the Burren Nature Sanctuary on what was supposed to be the worst weather day of the holiday. I was dreading the day but it turned out to be the highlight of the holiday for me. Such a beautiful place. Well organised in terms of response to Covid19. Lots to do - animals at the petting farm, a brilliant fairy forest trail that is cleverly thought out, tours with the animals, lovely different sheltered areas throughout the Sanctuary for you to sit and enjoy the beauty. An amazing playground with lots for every age group. The pizzas looked amazing! (Our daughter can't eat pizza - but it's the only thing that they are serving at the moment so come prepared) The beauty of the all day ticket is that you could go into Kinvara and get something to eat and go back to the park if you wanted. There are loads of picnic areas too. Definitely worth a visit. And if we lived locally I'd certainly become a member because I would love to visit often. 100% recommend.

I recently spent a week in Kinvara. I visited Connolly's five nights that week. The individuals behind the bar were great on all visits. The music on Friday evening, and crowd, were great fun. Proprietor, Mike, was great conversation and made every accommodation; played guitar with the group, as well.

If you find yourself travelling the Wild Atlantic in Co.Galway, you are sure to come across Dungaire Castle, it's well worth stopping to visit, you can walk around the castle, go inside, and if you really like what you see, and have time, you can attend a medieval banquet.
