Miltown
Malbay
Miltown
Malbay is well known for the Willie Clancy
Summer School which takes place in July
each year and attracts thousands of music
enthusiasts from all over the world. Traditional
Irish Music plays an important part in this
part of the country and many of the pubs
have traditional music sessions all year
long.
But Miltown Malbay has a lot more
to offer: Sandy beaches ( White Strand
and Spanish Point) ideal for swimming and
surfing , quiet backroads ideal for walking
and bicycling in the rolling hills of West
Clare, fishing lakes and rivers, and
remains of the historic past, like the megalithic
tomb on the slopes of Slieve Callan southeast
of Miltown Malbay.
Divers still try to
locate the remains of the six Spanish Armada
ships which were lost off this coast in
September 1588.
