How to find us
Directions
From Galway:
Take the N18 Limerick road. After about 25k you will pass through the village of Ardrahan. You will shortly see a brown tourist sign for Thoor Ballylee (Yeats' Tower) to the left. Turn left onto this road, by Cummins' furniture store. About 1k along this small road the sign for Thoor Ballylee points right. You can actually see the tower from here but do not take the right turn. Instead, take the left which is only a few yards further on, past some farm buildings on your left. There is a short row of houses on your right and Augill House is the last one, with a bright red front door.
From Shannon Airport and Limerick
On leaving Shannon Airport, follow the signs for Ennis and Galway to join the N18 north.Continue on the Ennis by-pass towards Galway. Shortly after entering the town of Gort, take the N66 right, signed Loughrea. After about 4km you will pass a filling station on your right. Another 500m on you will see a large brown tourist sign for Thoor Ballylee (Yeats' Tower) to the left. Turn left onto this road and then take the first right (there is a sign for Augill House here) and we are the last house on the right hand side with a bright red front door.
From Dublin
Take the N6 road for Galway. In Loughrea (after about three hours driving time), take the N66, left, signed Gort. After about 17k, you will see a large, square brown tourist sign for Thoor Ballylee (Yeats' Tower) to the right.(Ignore any finger posts taking you off the N66 before seeing this sign as they often get turned round the wrong way).Take this right turn and go along the small road for about 500m, then take the first right onto an even smaller road. You should not quite have reached the turn for Thoor Ballylee. Pass some farm buildings on your left and a short row of houses on your right. Augill House is the last one, with a bright red front door.
Public transport is available from nearby to Galway City but as the schedule is not very frequent we would recommend bringing your own car or hiring one from one of the many reputable Irish companies. However, for those who prefer to relax at the end of a long journey, we can arrange transport from Galway or Shannon Airports or from Galway railway and bus stations. It would then be possible to hire a car locally.
Coming and going, we wish you a safe and pleasant journey.
Mark and Tricia Handy.
