Things to do in / near Galway

[tyroneman]

Heading away for a few days to Galway with the missus.

Any ideas of things to do / see. Don't want to just it in pub all day.

Restaurant recommendations would be handy too!

Take at lookeen at the Arans. Avoid sweater shops.

Surely at Maam Cross you run the risk of being beseiged by a tour bus filled by Americans who eat unhealthily?

What about the majestic Kylemore Abbey?

If they go that far up, they might as well go and visit Ireland's most stunningly beautiful county, the county of Mayo.
