SOUTH OF GALWAY CITY

Take time to smell the oysters on the busy seaside route between Galway City and County Clare. At Kilcolgan, veer east off the N18 and you’ll be rewarded with villages like Kinvara, whose charms may play havoc with your schedule – if you have one.

Clarinbridge & Kilcolgan

POP 2100

Some 16km south of Galway, Clarinbridge (Droichead an Chláirin) and Kilcolgan (Cill Cholgáin) are at their busiest during the Clarinbridge Oyster Festival (www.clarenbridge.com) , held during the second weekend of September. However, the oysters are actually at their best from May through the summer.

Oysters are celebrated year-round at Paddy Burke’s Oyster Inn (www.paddyburkesgalway.com; Clarinbridge; mains €10-24; 12.30-10pm) , a thatched inn by the bridge dishing up heaped servings in a roadside location on the N18.

Moran’s Oyster Cottage (www.moransoystercottage.com; The Weir, Kilcolgan; mains €14-24; noon-10pm Mon-Sat, 10am-10pm Sun) is a thatched pub and restaurant with a facade as plain as the inside of an oyster shell. Find a seat on the terrace overlooking Dunbulcaun Bay, where the oysters are reared before they arrive on your plate, and you’ll think the world’s your… It’s a well-marked 2km west of the noxious N18, in a quiet cove near Kilcolgan.
