find holiday homes in Carrigart

Situated as it is at
the base of the Rosguill peninsula, in one of the more remote but
most scenic parts of the country, the village provides services for
a large hinterland, with a supermarket with banking facilities, a
post office, a doctor's surgery and a barracks manned part-time by
An Garda Síochána. Carrigart has a public park that borders the
shoreline behind the houses on the main street. Designed by Angela
Gallagher, it is maintained by the Tidy Towns Committee and has won
several awards. The village and its environs remain largely
agricultural, relying heavily on passing trade and tourism during
the summer months. The traditional seaside resort of Carrig Áirt is
a picturesque village and the Victorian architecture adds to its
unique character and charm. In the sand hills between Carraig Airt
and Na Dúnaibh (Downings) are prehistoric sites where Bronze Age
objects have been found, and deep in the dunes there is small
cluster of houses that were consumed by the changing sandscape many
years ago |
