 Fergus
View is located in Kilnaboy, two miles north of Corofin Village
in Co Clare. Kilnaboy is situated in the famous Burren area
of North Co Clare and is the gateway to a countryside of extraordinary
scenic beauty.
The house itself overlooks the River Fergus,the scenic remains
of Kilnaboy Medieval Church with ruined tower, and gazes across
beautiful, tranquil rural landscape at Clifden Hill, an area
which abounds in Celtic legend surrounding the mystic Fionn
Mac Cumhaill and his band of warriors known as the Fianna.

of good pubs. Irish traditional music can be heard in many
of the pubs on various nights of the week.
There is also good fishing in the area.
