Miltown Malbay Hotels & Information

Miltown Malbay is a village in the west of County Clare, Ireland, next to Spanish Point. The name Malbay is thought to come from the Irish meall-bhaigh, which means treacherous coast. The name could also stem from the legend of the Witch "mal" who was drowned in the bay by Fionn Mac Cumhaill.

It is home to the annual Willie Clancy Summer School and Festival. The festival honours Willie Clancy, a famous uilleann piper who was a native of the village.

Dr Patrick Hillery, President of Ireland 1976-1990, was born at Spanish Point near Miltown Malbay in 1923.
