3About Clonfert
Clonfert in County Galway sits between the Shannon and the midlands countryside, reached via the N6 with an exit at Ballinasloe then 15 kilometres south on local roads. It's about two hours from Dublin, with the R446 from Birr offering a lovely 25-kilometre drive through farmland. Electric vehicle drivers will find around 15 fast chargers nearby, and Birr Golf course draws visitors from across the region. The real draw is the 12th-century cathedral doorway, one of Ireland's finest examples of Hiberno-Romanesque architecture, with intricate stone carvings that have survived nearly 900 years.
