Experience Ballinasloe - 26th to 28th May
Battle of Aughrim Tour
Venue: Aughrim Interpretive Centre
Time: Sunday 28th @ 10 am
Details: Meet Michael and Abbie at the Battle of Aughrim Visitor Centre (H53 KH51)on Sunday 28th May at 10am for a journey through the fields surrounding Aughrim village. These seemingly ordinary-looking fields were the site of the last pitched battle fought in Ireland- and the bloodiest, with approximately 7,000 men losing their lives in the most significant battle of the Williamite War in Ireland. You'll learn all about the events leading up the battle, the key characters involved, and its impact on Ireland's history. You'll also have the opportunity to handle replica weapons, uniforms, and props of the era. The tour will take approximately 2.5hrs on foot over sometimes rough terrain, taking in Kilcommadan Hill, St. Ruth's Bush and Fort, and the ruins of Aughrim Castle - all key locations on that fateful July day in 1691. Suitable clothing and footwear are advised.
Cost: €20 per person
