The N84 out of Galway
leads to Headford on the border with county Mayo. On route you will
pass the villages of Corrandulla and Annaghdown, where the beautiful
Annaghdown Bay can be found. Corrandulla village is situated on the
eastern shores of Lough Corrib, the largest lake in the Republic of
Ireland. It is a small village with a number of pubs offering a
friendly atmosphere and traditional music.
Corandulla is set in a peaceful rural location, yet is only 15
minutes from bustling Galway City. It is a popular location for
pleasure and angling craft with a marina and swimming area. The
ruins of a 12th century Abbey and 15-16th century tower house can be
found dominating Annaghdown Bay. Nearby Cregg Castle was built by
the Kirwan family in 1648, one of the Galway Tribes. The Castle is
still inhabited and is said to be the last fortified mansion built
west of the Shannon.
Corandulla is an ideal base from which to explore other regions such
as Connemara and Mayo. |
