 Cong Abbey by globetrott
You may enter Cong Abbey freely and without restrictions during the day and may see there a very few fine ornaments and plenty of great arches.
Cong Abbey was also the home for the Cross of Cong - a 75cm high procession-cross, made of gold and precious jewels. It is shown today in the National museum in Dublin. Leave a Comment

 "The Quiet Man-bridge" - north
of Galway by globetrott
Normally all of these sights , where the movie was made, have brown signposts at all the major roads and there is even a map that shows all of these places around Galway - you may get this map in Cong !
My mother is a fan of that movie and I also saw it quite often, when I was a child, and as soon as I came to Galway, I had to search of all of these places of course. Leave a Comment

 "the Quiet man" - cottage at
Maam Cross by globetrott
This is the tiny hut, where John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara had their cottage in the film. It is one of the attractions at a petrol-station maybe 2 km west of Maam Cross, on your way to Clifden.
You may not enter the building, but take a picture from outside, and of course you will also find all sorts of souvenirs there ! Leave a Comment

 Leckavrea Mountain & the
Connemara by globetrott
This place, shown on my picture is next to Maam Cross and the "Quiet Man" - cottage and it is one of these places, that is shown at almost each guidebook about the area around Galway.
Take Take N59 and about 2km past Maam Cross you will see a big parking and this island with Leckavrea Mountain in the background. Leave a Comment

I want this tip to remain off the beaten path - so I can enjoy it when I want to. And when I finally get my old sports car fixed I can enjoy it all the more.
A road exists in Connemara that has everything - fantastic views, mountains, forests - the lot. It has virtually no traffic, and only a few suicical sheep on the lose.
My advice is take the unclassified road (although it is clearly marked on maps) from opposite Rossaveel up to Oughterard. There is a great place to stop off half way - the art gallery (see other tip) Leave a Comment
