Ogonnelloe Neighbourhood Guide
Clare
About Ogonnelloe
Ogonnelloe is a small, scenic rural parish on the western shore of Lough Derg in east County Clare, between Killaloe and Scarriff. It has a peaceful countryside character, with scattered homes, farmland, woodland and lake views rather than a conventional village-centre layout. Daily life is car-dependent, although nearby Killaloe and Ballina provide a wider range of shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, services and commuting connections. Ogonnelloe National School serves local primary-school families, while secondary-school options are available in Killaloe, Nenagh and surrounding towns. The R463 provides the main local road connection towards Killaloe, Scariff and Mountshannon, with the M7 accessible via Birdhill for longer commutes towards Limerick, Nenagh and Dublin. Residents can enjoy Lough Derg waterfront access, walking routes and the wider outdoor amenities around Killaloe, while local community and GAA activities are important parts of parish life. Pubs and dining are generally found in nearby Killaloe, Ballina, Tuamgraney and Scarriff, making the area attractive to people seeking a quiet lakeside setting within reach of established rural towns.
