The 5 BEST castles in Co. Galway, Ireland (RANKED)
"A climb up Diamond Hill near Letterfrack is a great way to enjoy the outdoors with kids in Galway. This 442m hill is an isolated peak and has paths and a boarded mountain trail that are easy to walk along, making it popular with families. Take a picnic and enjoy it along your walk."
"Having little ones doesn’t mean missing out on scenery with this easy climb. Gravel footpaths and wooden boardwalks make the ascent child friendly. On a clear day, the views from the summit are stunning."
"Built for John D’Arcy and his family in 1818, Clifden Castle is more aptly a manor house located about 3km from Clifden town. Decorative elements were added later to give it a very “classic castle” look. With its wide windows, the manor house was certainly never intended to withstand battles."
