Home > County Clare > Lahinch
Leacht Uí Chonchúir (in the Irish language) = O'Connor's Grave
Formerly known as Leath Inse - peninsula, from its water-bound location from which the present
English name derives. Its present Irish name derives from a prominent member of the O'Connor
clan who is buried here.
Lahinch is a popular holiday resort. The beach offers excellent surfing. Some distance north of
Lahinch, at O'Brien's Bridge, are the remains of Dough Castle, built by Donnchadh O'Connor
in 1422, and later appropriated by the O'Briens.
