The Slieve Aughty Centre is a family run guest house, restaurant, and equestrian centre in Loughrea, East County Galway. The centre now offers  “The Slieve Aughty Experience”, a day out for families which includes farm animals to pet, self-guided walks, self-serve arts and crafts, a new toddler playground, family games, and the new Enchanted Forest. The Enchanted Forest is a gnome village with fairy homes, a witches hut, a stone ring for fairy ceremonies and a lovely arched entryway.  Each visitor receives a keepsake map and guide to the Enchanted Forest, fairy dust, a nature journal and pencil. The  Three Towers Eco House and Organic Kitchen is near by and is open for tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and pancakes for hungry explorers.  The Slieve Aughty Experience is available Thursday to Sunday from 12-6.
