The picturesque
village of Tullycross is situated in the Renvyle area of Connemara,
one of Ireland's most beautiful locations, a magical landscape of
sea, mountains, lakes, rivers and peat bogs. The traditional
thatched cottages add to the beauty and tranquillity of this little
village. The local Church with its stained glass windows by renowned
artist Harry Clarke overlooks the square. A notable feature of this
village is the Ogham Stone; the ancient script spells out the name
of the townland, Gurteenachough, meaning little garden of stones.
At night the place comes alive with "mighty craic" in the villages'
two lively traditional Irish pubs - the Anglers Rest Bar and Paddy
Coynes Pub . It is a favourite activity with tourists and locals
alike looking for a music session either traditional or
contemporary. The legendary "Irish Night" is held every Wednesday
evening during the Summer in Paddy Coyne's Pub.
With Connemara National Park, Killary Fjord and Kyemore Abbey close
by, Tullycross is an ideal base for sightseeing and exploring,
walking, mountain climbing, scuba dividing, horse riding and
fishing. The Connemara Mussel Festival is held at Tullycross
annually on the May Bank Holiday weekend with plenty of activities,
music and of course mussels a plenty! |
