kylemore abbey & victorian walled garden印象

Kylemore Abbey is situated in the Heart of Connemara. The present Benedictine nuns of Kylemore Abbey have a long history, beginning at Brussels in 1598. This was the time following the suppression of religious houses in the British Isles when British Catholics left England and opened religious houses abroad.At any season of the year it is really worth a visit to this place. Stunning landscape.

I was so excited to see Kylemore Abbey during my visit to Ireland, and it did not disappoint. As soon as it came into sight, it took my breath away! It was so pretty it didn’t even look real! It's a must visit while in the area, as the entire area is absolutely gorgeous!

Unfortunately got quite a rainy day for our visit but the serenity, peacefulness and scenery in this place is almost magical. Glancing up to waterfalls in the mountains and the view across the pond to the abbey made me feel like I was in a movie! Highly recommend and try the great gift shop after!

We took our second tour in three days with Healy Bus Tours - this time to Kylemore Abbey! It was an amazing experience. The rich history, the wonderful views and the incredible surroundings made for a spectacular day. One of my favourite sights seen in all my world travels!

Lovely visit to Kylemore Abbey. We visited Abbey, church, mausoleum and gardens including gardener's cottage. Flowers were beginning to bloom and I could only imagine how beautiful garden would be during spring/summer. We were able to view 4 rooms in Abbey during off season, would have been so nice to see more!

Went to Kylemore Abbey on 09/03/15 and was absolutely blown away by it! The setting is just stunning. 4 rooms were available to view and there was lots of information about the whole history from when it was built. The Monastery was just a short walk along the Lake and it was beautiful inside too. The architecture of both buildings is amazing! There is a mile walk up to The Victorian Walled Garden or you can take the shuttle bus up to it. We walked to it as it was so peaceful with all the old trees and birds singing away! As it is March, the crocus and daffodils were out but i'm sure it is a blaze of colour in the summer! We had coffee and homemade scones in the beautiful tea room and the craft shop has an abundance of gifts, clothes,pottery, jewellery and handbags! We spent a good 4 hours there and didn't want to leave! The most peaceful place i have ever visited!

While the abbey is relative new as an abbey, the beautiful abbey, Gothic church and garden make this place worth a visit. The garden is best visited in the summer when in bloom rather than March when we were there. The history of the place adds to the beauty. Built by a wealthy man for his wife, her untimely death at the age of 45, and the twice rebirth of the place in other forms made the visit even more interesting. The history of the high-end girls school was especially interesting with Indian princesses part of the student body. You only can see the downstairs of the original home, but it is very impressive.

We live in Mayo and had decided to do a tourist "thing". This was definitely a good choice. Although a cold day, it was dry and meant the walks to the Mini Cathedral, Walled Gardens were crisp and clear. The Sunday lunch was well received after all of the walking and very tasty. I would say excellent value for a tourist attraction and as when I was younger the quiche did not fail to refuel blissful memories of tastiness. Native or tourist more than worth a visit at any time of the year!

Entry to the Site is €13 ( The cafe and shop are free). The is loads of car parking available. You get an information leaflet and can walk from the visitors centre up to the Abbey, the church and the Mausoleum near the lake. There is then a bus running every 15 mins from the back of the visitors centre to the walled gardens of you can walk it if you wish. I think it takes about 20 mins. There is a tea room located next to the walled gardens which was closed at the time of our visit as it was low season.Really nice place to visit.

We love Ireland and this peaceful spot is one of the reasons why. Lovely home/abbey/school on tranquil lake beckons you, off the beaten trail. Had soup/sandwich lunch with our family here - enjoyable. One of my favorite photos in our home now is family with the abbey in the background. Interesting story of its history. As usual, have a clue before you go. Preparation and research adds to wonderful travel experiences. Lovely spot.
