Have your say in the future of the Battle of Aughrim Visitor Centre
Mon, Apr 20, 2026
Galway County Council is inviting people to have their say on plans to upgrade visitor facilities at the Battle of Aughrim Visitor Centre, located on the site of the most significant and bloodiest battle in Irish history.
The local authority is undertaking a feasibility study into the proposed upgrade of the existing interpretive centre, which commemorates the 1691 battle between the forces of William of Orange, James II and Louis XIV.
An estimated 35,000 soldiers from eight European nations took part in the conflict, which helped shape the course of European history.
