About Ballyvaughan

Ballyvaughan is a small coastal village on Galway Bay's southern shore, perfectly placed where the limestone Burren meets the Atlantic with grand views toward the Aran Islands. The N67 from Galway takes about an hour, hugging the coast through Kinvara, while the R477 from Lisdoonvarna shows off the Burren's unique terrain. From Dublin, head west on the M6 to Galway then follow the coast, or from the south take the N85 through Ennis. The village harbour still shelters traditional Galway hookers, those distinctive black-sailed boats that once carried turf to the Aran Islands.
