New QuayorNewquay (Irish: An Chéibh Nua)[1] is a small coastal settlement in County Clare, Ireland. It takes its name from the quay built at this point on Galway Bay in the 19th century.[2] New Quay is in the civil parishofAbbey and the historical baronyofBurren.[1][3] It is within the ecclesiastical parishofCarron & New Quay in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Galway, Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora.[4] The former holiday home of Lady Gregory, Mount Vernon Lodge, is located in a neighbouring townland, also called New Quay.[5] In the ITA Topographical and General Survey, published by the Irish Tourist Association in 1942, New Quay is described as "scarcely [..] a village as the houses are very scattered. However there is a Guards station, a P.O., and two shops".[6] A pub and restaurant on the quayside, Linnane's Bar, is located in the former post office building.[7]
The small port of New Quay is situated about a quarter of a mile to the north of the village of Burren [..] at the village of New Quay (so called from the construction of this quay, about eight years since), a little to the east of an older one, of which there are still some remains
