A Karen Brown Recommendation
Oughterard, Co. Galway, Ireland |
| Recenter Map To This Location |
Accommodation signs for nearby Oughterard alert you to watch for a right-hand turn to Aughnanure Castle. Approaching the castle, you may be greeted, as we were, by a friendly family of goats snoozing on the wooden footbridge before the castle gates. Aughnanure Castle was the stronghold of the ferocious O’Flahertys, who launched attacks on Galway town until their castle was destroyed by English forces in 1572. The clan regained their castle for a period of time until wars with Cromwell and William of Orange saw them expelled again. (Open Jun–Sep, tel: 091 552214.)
