Rinville Park
Ramble through the beautiful grounds of Rinville Park and take in stunning views of the adjacent ancient castle and 16th century estate demesne.
Located just five minutes from the picturesque village of Oranmore in County Galway, Rinville Park is a wonderful amenity that offers a variety of sightseeing opportunities, from its extensive network of woodland walks to open farmland. Or explore the coastline and make your way to Rinville Point and Saleen Point to see views of Galway Bay, Galway City and even the Burren in County Clare.
Be sure to keep an eye out for the wildlife that have made Rinville Park their home, such as ravens, grey herons and otters, and stop and smell the park's wildflowers. Pack a picnic and take a seat in one of the park's designated picnic areas while the kids have fun in the playground.
