Dunguaire Castle near Kinvara - County Galway, Ireland
Dunguaire Castle in Kinvara - County Galway, Ireland - Sorry we named this Castle Oranmore Castle originally - but thanks to Joe in the comments below - who corrected our error :-) Shows you - too many castles in Galway! So next visit we need to visit this one again and also Oranmore Castle - hoping for good weather soon! :-)
It was built in 1520 by the O’Hynes clan on the picturesque shores of Galway Bay. In the early 17th century the castle passed into the hands of the Martyn’s of Galway. Richard Martyn, Mayor of Galway lived here until 1642 and the Martyn’s of Tulira Castle, owned the castle until this century.
Another castle added to our list to check out next visit is Oranmore Castle in County Galway, Ireland, is located, there is the Oranmore Castle Lodge, which is also known as the Monkey House, and which provides a panoramic view of the Galway Bay with its atmosphere from the sunsets, the bird life, the otters, and the seals. Oranmore lodge is found just across the laneway from the Oranmore Castle's organic garden. We definitely recommend this place for those who will come a long way and who will be staying at Galway for a couple of days.
The Galway bay which Dunguaire Castle is located near is the large bay on the west coast of Ireland, between county Galway in the province of Connacht to the North, to the Burren in county Clare in the province of Munster to the south. There are several small islands found across the bay since it is 50 kilometers long and from 10 to 30 kilometers wide. From these different other islands which are found on Galway Bay, you will remember the Aran Island which is considered one of the most famous. Galway in general is so famous in the Irish culture and has been even mentioned in several songs.
There are lots of places to visit in Northern Ireland and which combine between the historical buildings found there and the nature, such as the case with Oranmore Castle. In addition to this castle, you could also manage to visit other places in Galway, Ireland, such as the Cliffs of Moher, which will give you the chance to view Aran Islands as well from afar but only if the weather is clear (
Speaking of Galway and its attractions, we are very happy to share what we have seen even while we were on the way to it. On our way to Galway, we made a quick stop near Dromahair, Ballintogher, Ballygawley, and Manorhamilton; you could check that here and see what we have witnessed (
One would actually get astonished with the amount of things he/she could see in Galway, Ireland. Galway is considered the fourth most populous urban area in the Republic of Ireland and the sixth most populous city on the island of Ireland - which might be enough to explain the amount of things one always wants to visit in this place and why it gains all these likes and references.
One of the reasons why those who visit any of the places in Galway or even those too close are advised to stay in this city for some time is because of its simplicity and the live Irish music which is offered by the different traditional Irish hubs which are found there. In addition to these hubs, there are also some shops, stone-clad cafes, as well as the boutiques and art galleries which line the winding lanes of the Latin Quarter, which retains portions of the medieval city walls.
We really did love Dunguaire Castle and even enjoyed the souvenir shop which we entered there. To make this different for you, we also tried the 360 video of the Dunguaire Castle to give those who still don't know where they might visit the chance to consider themselves right inside that magical place!
If you have been to Dunguaire Castle Kinvara, before then share with us your experience; what you enjoyed and what are the things you didn't like much. If you are still in the phase of preparation and haven't been to the castle before then we hope that this video will give you the push and provide you with the tips and information you might need.

Dunguaire Castle, Kinvara, County Galway, Ireland
Dunguaire Castle (Irish: Dún Guaire) is a 16th-century tower house on the southeastern shore of Galway Bay in County Galway, Ireland, near Kinvara (also spelled Kinvarra). The name derives from the Dun of King Guaire, the legendary king of Connacht. The castle's 75-foot (23 m) tower and its defensive wall have been restored, and the grounds are open to tourists during the summer.
The 19th century Gaelic scholar John O'Donovan states in his Ordnance Survey letters for County Galway, and his book, The Genealogies, Tribes and Customs of the Hy-Fiachrach, that Dunguaire was built by the Ó hEidhin clan, chiefs of Coill Ua bhFiachrach, the district around Kinvara, and also of Uí Fiachrach Aidhne an area coextensive with the diocese of Kilmacduagh covering the part of county County Galway between the Burren and Galway Bay to the west and Slieve Aughty to the east.
Dunguaire Castle was used in the 1969 Walt Disney movie Guns in the Heather, featuring Kurt Russell, in which the castle was featured as Boyne Castle. It was also the Scottish castle home of the main character in the 1979 film North Sea Hijack.

An amazingly calm day in Kinvara today, with some great photing around the Dunguaire castle today. I'm still playing with the Mavic trying to figure out what settings work best for me. For this orbit, I did it manually rather than using the Orbit function.
