The Galway / County Clare / County Galway region
Galway City “The city of the Tribes” is a coastal town sixteen miles from Annaghkeen and within easy driving distance should you need a “city fix” Although it has seen tremendous growth in the past few years it has never lost the charm, openness and character that attracts visitors year after year.
Stroll down the little medieval streets listening to the buskers or wander into one of the many pubs along Shop Street for a pint of stout and listen to the talented musicians who play traditional music almost every where you go.
Shopaholics are catered for too and there is a wealth of shops both large and small to look at. (we even have a Marks and Spencers now).
Headford area
The Town of Headford (Ath Cinn) The small town of Headford is located four miles from Annaghkeen. This would be the nearest place to get supplies. Here also is a branch of Bank of Ireland and ATM machines. Post Office, Supermarket, Garages and fishing tackle supplies. There are pubs and bars here, many of which have regular sessions of traditional Irish music.
Campbell’s Tavern is a well known music venue and some surprisingly big names can turn up here.
Local History Ross Errilly Friary is one of the best preserved 14th century Franciscan Friarys in Ireland and for those interested in Irelands long history well worth a look.
Annaghkeen itself is an ancient celtic site. With it’s 12th century ruined castle (said to be the oldest example of a castle built entirely from undressed stone in Ireland) built by the De Burgo family to keep out the marauding O’Flaherty’s from across the lough.
The view from the cottage bedroom looks out upon an ancient cairn where bronze age gold and artefacts were discovered (now residing in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.
How to get there
From the town of Headford - Take the turning by Joyces Supermarket towards "Claran" and "Lough Corrib". Follow this road down for about three miles until you come to sharp turn to the right signposted "Greenfields". Do not follow this road but continue straight on past the old shop for another mile. After a crossroad you will see a new thatched cottage on the left, drive past this and past a row of bungalows. Annaghkeen Cottages are on the left. There is a sign outside.
Just knock at the farmhouse next door where we live.
