Visit Dungarvan

A town marked by its historical heritage

Dungarvan is a pretty tourist village with everything to please, from its small fishing port and proximity to the River Colligan to its castle and 1816 bridge.

It has to be said that the village has a strong history, making it one of the most attractive places in the region! In fact, Dungarvan was the only local town to surrender during Cromwell’s conquests, and to play an important political role in the organization of county politics.
