Ballyvaughan
Ballyvaughan is located along the N67 road 39km from Ennis Co. Clare. This village is situated on a picturesque quay on the southern shores of Galway Bay and is a convenient centre for exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside.
The village offers the visitor sea fishing, pubs, restaurants, craft workshops and is an ideal base for exploring the West of Ireland. From a medieval settlement in the 19th century Ballyvaughan grew round its harbour, built initially in 1829 for fishery purposes. Local produce - grain, bacon and vegetables - were also exported from Ballyvaughan by sea while Steamers brought visitors from Galway, laying the foundation for a thriving tourism trade. Commercial use of the harbour has declined in recent years and it is now used for pleasure craft.
Starting or finishing point for the signposted Burren Way walking route through the Burren, nearby are Aillwee Cave, one of Ireland’s premier showcaves and the internationally accredited Burren College of Art based at the 17th century stone building on the former Newtown Castle estate.
