Claremorris —County Mayo
Claremorris (Clar Chlainne Mhuiris) derived its name from Maurice de Prendergast, a Norman who came to Ireland in 1169. The town was established during the 18th century. Castlemagarret House near the town to the right of the N17 is now a private nursing home. There is a forest walk nearby. The town has good sporting facilities, including an equitation centre, a swimming pool and golf (18 hole).
