The River Clarin (Irish: Abhainn an Chláirín[3]) is a fast-flowing river in Ireland, flowing through southern County Galway.[4]
Course
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
Fish species include Crayfish, trout, salmon, lamprey and eel.[7]
