Location
Kinvara is an ideal base from which to explore the wild beauty of the West of Ireland. The village of Kinvara itself is a picturesque fishing village conveniently located for easy access from both Galway City and Shannon Airport. The village is home to some well regarded restaurants and of course several traditional Irish pubs while the vibrant, bustling city of Galway is only a short drive away. Kinvara is also the gateway to the limestone landscape of the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. Brenda can also help organise boat trips to the Aran Islands or advise you on the unique experience of a medieval banquet at nearby Dunguaire Castle. The spectacular scenery of Connemara to the northwest of Galway city is also within driving distance.
