Kylemore Abbey and Garden
.................................................................................................................................................

Set in the heart of the Connemara mountains is the Kylemore Abbey
Estate, home of the Irish Benedictine Nuns. Visit the picturesque
Abbey (under restoration), reception rooms, video and exhibition and
enjoy a stroll to the beautiful Neo-Gothic Church (under restoration)
and Mausoleum where original owners are buried; browse in the Craft
Shop; view Kylemore Abbey pottery as it is produced in the Pottery
Studio and sample our home cooked food in the Restaurant. Take a
shuttle bus to Kylemore Abbey’s six-acre Victorian Walled Garden, the
most significant walled garden in the West.
A visit to the West of Ireland is not complete without experiencing the
beauty and tranquillity that is Kylemore Abbey and Garden.
