🚁 Connemara Road Trip! 🌍✨
It’s been a while since I last posted—between storms, work, and life, I haven’t had much time to get out and fly. But with the good weather finally rolling in, the drone is back in the air!
We took a road trip through Connemara, Co. Galway, stopping at Maam Cross, Clifden, Sky Road (Wild Atlantic Way), Letterfrack, Kylemore Abbey, and The Quiet Man Bridge.
📍 Maam Cross – Known as the "Gateway to Connemara," this remote crossroad is surrounded by rugged mountains, lakes, and vast boglands. It's a historic stop along the old Galway-to-Clifden railway line and is famous for its traditional livestock fair, which has been held for centuries.
🏰 Kylemore Abbey – Built in the late 1800s by Mitchell Henry as a romantic gift for his wife, this neo-Gothic castle later became a Benedictine monastery. It’s now one of Ireland’s most picturesque landmarks, featuring stunning lakeside views, Victorian walled gardens, and rich history.
🌉 The Quiet Man Bridge – This charming stone bridge near Maam Cross gained fame in the 1952 classic The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. A must-visit for film lovers retracing scenes from the beloved movie.
It was a fantastic day exploring some of the best spots in Connemara! Can’t wait to put together some amazing footage—stay tuned! 🎥
