The 10 Best Things to do for Honeymoon in Galway, Western Ireland
For visitors, the best thing about Galway is that you can walk everywhere. As soon as you arrive, enjoy a walk through the city streets. There, you'll find lively pubs, independent shops and winding cobblestone streets packed with students, artists, writers and craftspeople. You may even hear Gaelic spoken. For a day trip, take a ferry to the island of Inis Mor. You'll return refreshed by the ocean air and Inis Mor's breathtaking scenery. Oh, and be sure to wear sunscreen on the island, no matter how chilly it is. (Just trust us, okay?)

My husband and I took a recent trip from the USA to Ireland for our 40th wedding Anniversary. The absolute highlight of our trip was the Burren trail ride which we booked with Cooper's Hill Equine., We have some experience riding, but are by no means seasoned riders. Right away James made us feel at ease with his sense of humor, and warm personality. All the staff were wonderful, and their love of their horses is very obvious in the way the horses were handled, and the relaxed personalities of the horses themselves. We were paired with the perfect horses for us, both very gentle with great personalities. I was on Midnight, and Bart was on Mr Eastwood. Our adventure started in the shallow water of Galway Bay, then continued up into the Burren Mountains on an ancient road that wound through the breathtaking landscape. We both highly recommend Cooper's Hill Equine to anyone that wants a special Horseback riding experience in Ireland! Special Thank You to James for taking so many wonderful photos of us of on ride.
