Walking Tours of Galway - Claddagh Thatched Cottage, Galway, Ireland.

The first thatched cottage built in the Claddagh village, Galway in nearly a hundred years. Katies Cottage, part of the Claddagh Craft Village, opened to the public in April 2016. Built and roofed in the same way the Claddagh fishermen used to do in the 18th and 19th centuries, using local materials Rye, Wheat and Hazel and Ash, this cottage will become a magnet for tourism in Galway. When giving 'Walking Tours of Galway' I love to bring visitors to see the Claddagh, as well as the Spanish Arch, the Latin Quarter, Lynch's Castle, St. Nicholas Collegiate Church, Galway Cathedral, Salthill, the Corrib river, the Salmon Weir, Eyre Square, and Woodquay. I visit great pubs, especially O'Connors Pub in Salthill, O'Connells Bar in Eyre Square, Garavans, the Quays, The Dail, Sonny Molloys, Tigh Coili, Tigh Foxes, Taffes, the Crane, and Monroes. Galway is a beautiful city to visit anytime of the year and it is the gateway to Connemara and the Aran Islands.
