Description
This charming Irish village, called Kinvara, is situated just north of The Burren, a landscape of limestone pavement rocks and alpine flowers. The northernmost part of this landscape can be seen in the background.
The village in County Galway in the west of Ireland lies at the head of Kinvara Bay. Known in Irish as Cinn Mhara, an inlet in the south-eastern corner of Galway Bay, from which the village took its name. It lies close to the border with The Burren in County Clare, in the province of Munster.
Situated to the east of the village is Dunguaire Castle, a towerhouse of the Ó hEidhin (O'Hynes) clan. A Fearadhach Ó hEidhin (Faragh O'Hynes) is recorded as the owner of the castle in a 1574 list of castles and their owners covering County Galway.
