Officially renamed in 1965 to John F. Kennedy Memorial Park, Eyre Square is a roughly rectangular…read morepark at the center of Galway. The naming is a tribute to his visit to Galway in June 1963 when he gave a speech here, stating "I must say that though other days may not be so bright, as we look toward the future, that the brightest days will continue to be those we spent with you here in Ireland." https://youtu.be/PqPlxXkcfHo Today, it is a bright and green space. Perfect for a picnic or just sitting on a blanket and watching the double decker buses as they rotate around the square. On the weekend, you can expect market vendor stalls to be set up with trinkets, coffee, pastries and much more. You'll find the sculpture of Pádraic Ó Conaire that was unveiled in 1935. It's a replica because some people suck. [Review 1944 of 2024 - 126 in Republic of Ireland - 22966 overall]

One of my favourite woodland parks in County Galway. Coole…read moreis situated just a few miles outside the town of Gort in Co.Galway. Coole was originally the home of Lady Gregory who co-founded the Abbey Theatre with W.B.Yeats. Yeats wrote alot of potery whilst visiting Coole. His most well known poems about Coole are "The Wild Swans of Coole" and "To a Squirrel at Kyle-Na-No" Lady Gregory's home was knocked many years ago but the stables have been rennovated in recent years and now hold a visitor centre and coffee shop/cafe. there are wonderful trails arond the park and it's a haven for wildlife. I have spotted red squirrels here. There are also deer in the park and some beautiful swans on Coole Lake. It's a great place to bird watch. Plenty of car parking space and there is a lovely picnic area to be found within the walled garden. Lovely on a Summers day to spend a few hours here.

Yelp 100 Challenge 2019 - # 87/100…read more A love story turned sour, the family drama of brothers who became bitter enemies, a wall built between two houses because of jealousy are but few of the curiosities and intrigue surrounding the history of the Belvedere House. The Jealousy Wall is both grotesque and impressive. I can only imagine the intense anger and hatred someone would have to intentionally put up a hideous wall to separate yourself from family. Our visit was on a day of true Irish weather, rainy, windy, and cold. Walk through the gardens and let both nature and man-made architecture fascinate you. We enjoyed our Irish breakfast at their cafe. Restrooms are clean and parking was readily available (we were the only crazy visitors that rainy day).

I've given this a three star as we felt cheated. We were staying in the nearby Bloomfield hotel and…read morewe bought our passes there. We were told that the house was open as we wanted to see it and on arrival, but only after tendering the tickets and going through into the place did we find the house was shut and the glasshouse was shut. There were no signs or indications that the house was shut - it's almost dishonest. Had we known it was shut we wouldn't have bothered. So like many other people that day we effectively paid to walk round a park and lake when we could just as easily have walked around the lake and a nearby picnic area for free. There is a lovely cafe and coffee bar in the grounds that merits at least 4 stars but there's equally good cafes around that you don't have to pay just to get in. They also have dog kennels to leave pooch as pooches aren't allowed in the gardens but pooches can accompany owners around the lake and a nearby picnic area outside for free. I'd better stop writing as I dislike being ripped off and the more I think of it I'd be inclined to drop this to 2 stars.
