This scenic walk stretches from the Longwalk to the Salmon Weir.
It's a good place to escape the occasional hustle and bustle of
Galway City and relax.
Galway
grew up around a castle which was built by the
De Burgo family in the 13th century. In the following centuries
Galway grew and prospered by doing much trade with Spain and France.
Strong links with these countries remain to this day.
The
medieval nature of Galway has recently been amplified with the introduction
of pedestrianisation in many of its streets. Probably the best way
to explore the the cities sights is on foot.
Here,
when we continue this walk, we reach the Salmon Weir.
