On our last day on the west coast, we drove up the coast to through some "mountains" up to see Kylemore Abby. It is near Letterfreck and quite pretty. Kylemore castle was built 1867-1871 by Mitchell and Maragret Henry. The grounds have a Victorian walled garden, castle, and Gothic church. It set on a small lake in the mountain side which makes it quite picturesque. It became the home of the Irish Benedictine Nuns since 1920. The gardens are quite nice and it would be lovely to spend a good part of an afternoon there having a picnic enjoying the sun sitting on one of the many benches.
