There are plenty of short walks, including the prom overlooking Galway Bay which looks across the bay to the Burren in Co. Clare. The Arran Islands is just a short boat trip from Rossaveal fishing port.
There are also numerous other attractions and restaurants, festivals etc
PM me if you wish.

Good plan, liking that idea. Our itinerary is flexible (so far) as we have not booked hotels etc. yet. You'll probably be getting a few messages from me in due course
Thanks for the help
