Designed for travelers exploring Ireland by car, this self-drive experience allows you to uncover one of the country’s most breathtaking destinations at your own pace. Upon arrival, you’ll meet your expert local guide at the iconic Kylemore Abbey, a stunning 19th-century estate nestled at the foot of rugged hills and reflected perfectly in the still waters of Pollacapall Lough. As you explore, you’ll learn the captivating story of the Abbey’s creation, its transformation over the years, and its continued role as a cherished symbol of Irish heritage.
