About Claregalway
Claregalway
is located approximately 12km from the bright lights of Galway City, on
the junction of N17 (Galway/Sligo) and N18 (Dublin/Limerick) routes and
3km from Galway International Airport. Given its location, Claregalway has
taken advantage of its prime site for development, growing from a quite
agricultural village on the western sea board, to a dynamic, vibrant
location & one of the fastest growing towns in Ireland.
Although Claregalway town has expanded substantially over the years, it
still holds great respect & admiration for its culture & history, as is
evidenced by the many historical sites located around the town. We at the
Arches are very lucky to be surrounded by many of these sites, which can
be viewed from different vantage points throughout the hotel.
Claregalway is home to
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. |

Located beside the Clare
River in Claregalway (a small village north of Galway on the way to Tuam
notorious for traffic jams) , it was founded by the Franciscans around
1290. The river was used to drive a mill, there were cattle kept to
provide both milk and beef, and there was a leper hospital on the site
from 1310. Despite periods of dispossession and eviction, abbots were on
site until the middle of the eighteenth century.
