546. ClaregalwayTwelve miles (19 km) south-west of Tuam on the Galway road is the village of Claregalway, near which are the ruins of a Franciscan abbey built by John de Cogan in 1290. It was one of the most beautiful of its kind in the country. The church consists of nave, choir, north aisle and transept, surmounted by a graceful tower, of which parts remain in good state of preservation. The archers under the tower are particularly beautiful, as are the windows and arcades. The old castle near by, with its massive square tower, was built by the de Burghs.

547. ClarinbridgeClarinbridge, on the Galway/Gort road, lies in the heart of Galway oyster country, and the fame of the village's Paddy Burke's Oyster Tavern is now truly international. The famous Galway Oyster Festival was founded here by the late Paddy Burke and each September events of the Clarinbridge Oyster Festival are held in the open air in the village. The rich oyster beds lie close by, caressed by the invigorating waters of Galway Bay. A visit to the local church will reveal an ancient stone tablet in its porch showing a rather fine carving of the Virgin Mary standing on a crescent moon and crowned with stars.

549. ClifdenThe main town of Connemara, Clifden is an ideal centre for exploring the glorious scenery of the region.

There is excellent bathing within about a mile (2 km) from the town; boating, riding, game and sea fishing, are available, and there is an 18-hole golf links southwards at Aillebrack near Ballyconneely about 8 miles (13 km) from Clifden.

550. ClonburThis quiet village, near Cong and the Mayo border, is an ideal centre for the trout angler as it nestles easily between the two great lakes of Corrib and Mast. For the more adventurous, Mount Gable lies just 2 km to the West, and is an easy climb of about one hour's duration. The effort is worthwhile because the views of Lough Corrib stretching away to the south, Lough Mask to the north and the Connemara mountains to the west are simply stupendous.
