Clarinbridge

The Village of Clarinbridge is south of Oranmore, on the Galway to Gort Road, close to the head of Dunbulcaun Bay, the most easterly inlet of Galway Bay. The name Clarinbridge derives from the bridge across the Clarin River and the river took its name from the plank bridge that succeeded the original hurdle crossing. Beside the Clarinbridge River there is an earthwork which is reputed to have been a medieval fortification. On the east coast close to the Ballynamanagh bridge, is Dunbulcaun, a ringfort with a motte-type, central mound. Clarinbridge is famous worldwide for it's Oyster Festival in September of each year. The sea has played, and continues to play a pivotal role in the life of Clarinbridge. From our shallow, sheltered shores come our most famous export, the renowed Clarinbridge Oyster. September 1st ends the oysters honeymoon and the eating season opens with the Gala Oyster Celebration in the festival marquee. That's when oyster lovers have headed for Clarinbridge for over 50 years, to sample what are recognised as "probably the most succulent Oysters in the World!"

Kinvarra

Beautiful scenery, an enviable Atlantic location with plenty to do, lots of housing options and access to both Galway city and Co Clare add up to a West of Ireland wonder. Close to Galway city lies Kinvara, a stunning seaside village with its own 16th-century castle and a whole lot of charm. With a small population of just over 1,500, it's the perfect size to maintain a friendly, village appeal while also growing as more and more people opt to move in. Marian Hastings is a Kinvara local who has, she confesses, “pretty much always lived here.” Hastings' parents moved to the area in the 1990s, from the UK. “They were looking for a slower pace of life – my mum used to visit Kinvara as a child in the 1950s and 1960s.” Hastings makes a great case for a relocation to the seaside village, extolling the virtues of its scenery and its community. “I feel so lucky to live here,” she says. “It's one of the most beautiful places in Ireland.” Aesthetics aside, there's more to Kinvara than meets the eye. “As well as its outrageous good looks, Kinvara has a really varied and vibrant community,” Hastings declares. “There are lots of local clubs and organisations for all kinds of interests: music, art, running, sea swimming … There's a Men's Shed and, for kids, there are a lot more options than there were when I was small: sports clubs, dance lessons, CoderDoJo and Scouts, too.”
