Kylemore Abbey

Kylemore Abbey-walk through the ages and admire the spectacular scenery

Explore the 6-acre Victorian Walled Garden with its delightfully restored garden buildings, formal flower, vegetable and herb gardens. Discover woodland and lakeshore walks that will take you on a beautiful journey through our 1,000-acre estate. The beautiful neo-Gothic Church is a short walk from the Abbey.

  • Kylemore Abbey & Victorian Walled Gardens is one of many gems in Ireland. Kylemore Abbey is set in the scenic Connemara area of County Galway. That means that you will get to see the beautiful untouched land of Connemara with great vistas. As you are walking up the walkway to the Abbey, be sure to take a photo.
    I would recommend a short walk to the chapel which is a beautiful scene in the woods.

    I enjoyed just walking thru the Abbey with the great sense of History.

Latest Information Regarding Covid-19

Last Updated: 07/01/2020

Covid-19 Update

At Atlantic Way experience the health and safety of our guests, team members and local suppliers is our main priority. We are constantly trying our best to make things more flexible for you and to alleviate any worry of having to make decisions too early.

If you confirm a new booking to Ireland with AWE that at the time of booking does not have quarantine at either end (country of origin and destination), or advice against travel from the local authorities of each country, here is how you are covered if things change:

If up to 14 days before departure, there is advice against travel from the government or a national quarantine introduced at either end, you will be given these three options:

  1.   Travel as originally booked.
  2.   Change to new travel dates – no change fees will apply*^.
  3.   Issue a full refund**.

*We have been negotiating more flexible terms with many of our local suppliers. If there is a less flexible supplier involved in your booking, we will advise  at the time of booking for any Tailor-Made Journeys (including Tailor-made Golf & Educational programs) and no later than 72 hours after you confirm your booking for any pre-arranged journeys (Signature Journeys, Authentic Irish Journeys, and pre-arranged Golf journeys)

^ You can rebook your trip for any travel date throughout 2022. It does not have to be the same journey you originally booked. If the new trip is of greater value than the original booking, you will have to pay for the difference. If the value is less than your original booking, we will refund you the difference. Please note new travel dates are always subject to availability.

**At AWE we will endeavor to give you the option of a full refund wherever possible. This is completely dependent on the cancellation of our local suppliers and we will not be able to refund you if our suppliers do not refund us. As mentioned above, we will advise you of the supplier’s policy depending on your program, either at the time of booking or no later than 72 hours after you confirm your booking.

Should you have any queries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact our team on +353(0)85 247 1510, +353(0)87 124 5587, or via email enquieries@atlanticwayexperience.com to answer any queries you may have.
