Galway City MuseumThe museum starting point means we can get a great view over the city, especially the Claddagh area that we will be exploring. The museum also contains the world's oldest claddagh a ring and a rather strange artefact created by the probable orginator of the Claddgh ring.
-
River CorribWe begin our stroll over to the Claddagh around the river area. Here we can take in the glorious views of the long walk and here some of the superstitions and traditions of the people of the Claddagh. Hopefully we will also be able to take a look at an example of a traditional 'hooker' boat floating on Europe's most powerful river.
-
Claddagh Arts CentreNext up we have a look at a typical example of a Claddagh cottage, to say that it's 'pretty' or 'quaint' doesn't really do it justice. Red doors, thatched roof and possibly the King's cat hanging around...it's perfect! It may be a re-creation but it makes it much easier to imagine the scene some 100 years ago or more. Please note: The property allow entry to the exterior but the inside is usually only open for special events.
-
Eglinton CanalLeaving the Claddgh we take a wonder through the 'West' of Galway. This authentic and genuine area is home to some great cafes. We will stop off in one and grab a tea or coffee and maybe a cookie or scone (all included of course)
-
The Legend of the Claddagh RingReturning to the bustling centre of Galway we take in a few places that remind of us of both some of the more mythological stories surrounding the ring. We can also relate how some of the world's 'A-list' celebrities have embraced wearing the claddagh ring...from John Wayne to Princess grace and from JFK to Julia Roberts...and not forgetting a certain vampire...all will be revealed
