Aughnanure Castle, located in the heart of Connemara, was once ruled by the fearsome O'Flaherty family for 300 years. This six-storey tower on the shores of Lough Corrib offers a glimpse into the past with its banqueting hall, watch tower, and unique double bawn. Visitors can explore the castle's history, including its connection to the legendary pirate queen Grace O'Malley, and keep an eye out for the three species of bats that now call the castle home. It's a historical gem worth checking out if you're in the area!
