Day 4 - Galway

We joined a small bus - 15 people - tour to the West Coast of Ireland starting today in Dublin we stayed in Galway.

We visited Locke's Distillery the world's oldest legal distillery in Kilbeggan. With a waterwheel still working.

Then travelled further west to the Shannon River and Clonmacnoise an amazing stone abbey built in the 8th-12th century.

Lunch at the Shannonbridge pub.

Stayed at Ashgrove House in Galway City. Being driven around by a local with a wealth of knowledge of the history and current times of the area is amazingly informative. Beautiful scenery.  Cold with showers, sun and wind.

Patrick was very proud of this new walkway which goes for 5 km around at Salthill Galway Bay. There were a lot of people using it on a very blustery afternoon so the locals enjoy it.
