This is the official start of the Western Way, a spectacular hiking journey through Galway and Mayo and one of Ireland's National Trails. It's a journey of more than 125 miles (200 km) from Oughterard in Galway to the Sligo/Mayo border near Bunnyconnellan. Along the way, it explores the mountain ranges of Connemara, Croagh Patrick, the Nephin Beg range and the north Mayo coast.

Traffic in the town center is busy so ride safe and keep eyes up. There’s lots of on street parking with doors opening/ people pulling out suddenly

Oughterard, known as the "Gateway to Connemara," offers stunning views of Lough Corrib and easy access to the beautiful Connemara region. Visit the historic Aughnanure Castle and enjoy the local pubs, and charming accommodations for a true Irish village experience.

Aughnanure Castle is open to the public and it is worth paying the entrance fee (€5 adult) to explore the well preserved tower house and hear from the extremely knowledgeable guides. The castle was the stronghold of the O’Flaherty family, who ruled this area for 300 years. Their motto was, ‘Fortune favours the strong’.

Beautiful old castle and walls all around

Castle ruins from the 16th century 3-5€ entrance fee http://oughterardtourism.com/attractionsaughnanurecastle.htm Difficult to reach on foot from Oughterard, as you have to walk along the road and there are hardly any alternatives in places.

Great for photos if you have the talent. Ferns, lichens and moss in abundance.
