Neighbourhood information

Athenry or Baile Atha an Ri, meaning "Ford of the Kings" is 20km east of Galway City. It is a town very much defined by its medieval past. As a strategically significant Anglo-Norman outpost in an area dominated by Gaelic Irish families, it had a tumultuous history. Medieval Athenry was twice the size of Galway City at that time and its town walls rank amongst the best in Europe. Athenry was even bigger than the Medieval city of Dublin. The town had at least 6 towers of which 5 survive, and 5 entrance gates, but only the north gate still stands today. Now a thriving community the streets abound with Florists, gift shops, antique shops, pubs and restaurants. Athenry Castle and Park is the focal point of our Town and we are well serviced by Train, Bus and Motorway routes.
