Kylemore Abbey

Another cool trip with the international students! The Student Union at GMIT is really good at these, special thanks to them!




The Kylemore Abbey

Connemara

The Chapel on the property

 Even just walking around the area is beautiful. I really, really enjoyed the sights here.

We traveled to Connemara to visit the Kylemore Abbey. Holy cannoli is this area beautiful. I am not sure if I can call them mountains in Ireland, but they really are. There are farms every now and then, really secluded, with sheep that just walk all around. Imagine a giant mountain with rocks and all (but possibly technically a hill?) with little white blobs just walking around the steep slope. They are hilarious. They walk around the street, the hills, the waterfront... there aren't many people around so they just do what they want. It's actually awesome.

The Abbey was beautiful inside and out. Everything was so well presented and special to walk around.

 

The abbey itself is right in the heart of Connemara. It is crazy awesome. The entire property is so serene and well-maintained.


The view from outside the Abbey



There are walled gardens on one end of the property, it looked like they had just planted new plants so it wasn't in bloom, but it was still just amazing to walk around.
