Be sure to have plenty of gas in the tank, because Galway is well worth a detour. Situated 40 miles from Taghmaconnell, it offers up a few fabulous attractions, such as Galway Cathedral and Galway City Museum. Nothing says living big like a road trip, so keep on driving to Limerick. It’s 60 miles away and also offers a few attractive sights, such as King John’s Castle and St. Mary’s Cathedral.
