Course
[edit | edit source]
The River Clarin rises in the townland of Gortnalone, north of Attymon and snakes westwards, turning southwards through Athenry. Athenry Castle was built at a fording point on the river. It flows southwestwards and passes under the N18 at Clarinbridge and enters Dunbulcaun Bay.[5][6]
Wildlife
[edit | edit source]Fish species include Crayfish, trout, salmon, lamprey and eel.[7]
