Waterways & Westend Tour

It is a given fact that without Galways proximity to the ocean and waterways it would have never progressed as the city we know today. From the earliest records Galway has relied on the water for trade and strategic military positions. This tour highlights our maritime history and how the water had been used to enhance our relations with Europe and indeed the world. One of Europe’s fastest flowing rivers offered the opportunity to harness its power which would bring Galway into the industrial age offering employment in textiles, distilling and munitions. Join us on this beautiful walk around our waterways.
