Galway City Waterway Walks

The River Corrib starts its voyage just north of Galway city, where it flows from the lake of the same name – Lough Corrib. At 176 square kilometres this is Ireland’s second largest lake: it extends north to the towns of Headford and Cong, while westward it stretches into the Connemara region. From here the river meanders along its six kilometre journey, picking up speed as it enter the city on its way to empty into the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
