Furbo is a quaint
village which lies on the shores of Galway Bay between Barna and
Spiddal. Furbo has a typical Gaeltacht style of settlement with no
village street or centre, but rather comprises around fourteen
townlands, most of which run North to South from the bog to the
foreshore. Although the settlement is approximately 12km from Galway
city centre it has maintained its rural nature quite successfully in
recent years due to strong opposition to large scale development
from locals.
Furbo is the first village to the west of Galway City where Irish is
the language used in the school, church and at community meetings.
The headquarters of the Gaeltacht Authority - Údarás na Gaeltachta
is located in Furbo.
Furbo beach has the only complete coral circled beach in Europe.
Across Galway Bay from Furbo you can see the stunning Burren
landscape of County Clare. |
