Moyard is a village in the Ballinakill Parish. It is a very scenic and central location, easily accessible from Clifden town, Letterfrack and Cleggan villages.

Clifden, with it’s wonderful array of hotels, shops, bars and restaurants and the renowned Arts Festival, is only a 10 minute drive away

Letterfrack is a 5-minute drive from the property and is a very busy little village with three pubs, a lovely restaurant, and a very well stocked supermarket. Letterfrack hosts a number of small festivals during the year – the most notable being Sea Week in October which is a celebration of all things maritime and includes walks, talks, exhibitions, and some very fine traditional music, and Bog Week in May which celebrates the local flora and fauna and again attracts many fine musicians, lecturers and poets. The furniture college in Letterfrack turns out some fine woodworkers and every year puts on an exhibition of the best work of the graduating class.

The village of Tullycross is an easy drive from the house and boasts two pubs and the Maol Rae hotel which serves lunches and dinners.

Staff at the park run activities for children during the summer months and the information centre gives a good history of the area.
