Aughnanure Castle
Next, visit Aughnanure Castle, one of Connemara’s best-preserved late-medieval tower houses. Built in the late 15th century, it stands proudly on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Drimneen River. Once the stronghold of the powerful O’Flaherty Gaelic lords, the castle served as a symbol of their prestige and influence for over two centuries. Today, it remains a striking testament to the strength and legacy of Gaelic lordship in the region.
