Пирс интересен своей историей. Когда-то был пристанью для кораблей и играл важную роль в жизни городка. С него чудесно виден залив, Галвей и берега залива. Напротив новый пирс яхт-клуба. Туда тоже можно пройти пешком или проехать на машине. Это составляет менее километра, а если от моста, то вообще метров пятьсот. Рыбу ловить можно, но почти с нулевым результатом. Можно наловить мелких крабов. За рыбой стоит ехать на скалы к Фанору или ещё дальше - к океану. Но и там нужно понимать периоды прихода рыбы и учитывать приливы History of the Old Pier • Early Piers: Before the 19th century, locals had built three small piers which were used for herring fishing. However, these structures were virtually unusable at high tide, limiting their functionality. • New (1829): In 1829, the Fishery Board commissioned Scottish engineer Alexander Nimmo to design a new pier. Nimmo, who was famous for his work on Irish harbours, created a more robust structure which became the basis for the development of Ballyvaughan Harbour. This allowed the village to become a temporarily thriving port. • Expansion (1837): To support the peat trade from Connemara, a further was built in 1837, also presumably to Nimmo's design. The new greatly improved the ability to export grain, bacon and vegetables, as well as import goods from Galway. • Role in the economy: In the 19th century, the was vital to the local economy, providing trade and fishing. By 1841, the village's population had grown to 235 and the number of houses to 35, indicating its economic boom. • Modern use: Today the old is more of a tourist attraction than an active port, attracting fishermen, photographers and marine nature lovers. The is used for small fishing boats and walks, and the surrounding area is ideal for bird watching and enjoying the sea air. Interesting facts • Nimmo's design: Alexander Nimmo was a distinguished engineer who designed many ports in Ireland, including Dunmore and Cobh. His work at Ballyvaughan reflects his approach to creating functional and durable structures. • Tourism: The old is part of the Wild Atlantic Way, a popular tourist route along the west coast of Ireland. Visitors enjoy the panoramic views, especially at sunset or sunrise, and the opportunity to sample local seafood in the nearby restaurants. • Cultural significance: Ballyvaughan and harbour have inspired poets and artists, including John Betjeman, who described the rugged beauty of the Burren in his poem ‘Ireland with Emily’.
