Athenry Hotels & Information

Athenry is a town in County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It lies 25 km to the east of Galway city, and is also famous for the song "The Fields of Athenry." One of the attractions of the town is its medieval castle. Named from the fact that a ford crossed the river Clare just east of the settlement. Because three kingdoms met at that point, it was called '?th na R?ogh', or 'the Ford of the Kings'. On some medieval maps of English origin the town is called Kingstown. The kingdoms were Hy-Many to the north-east, east and south-east; Aidhne to the south and south-west; Maigh Seola to the west and north-west.
