Aside from the old iconic structures, there’s a vast green field around the venue which is a perfect background for your wedding photos. Other scenic locations like cliffs and nature parks are accessible from here. You can reach these spots in just a few minutes by car.

History
This intimate Catholic church in Co. Clare was built and rebuilt during the 12th to 14th centuries. Its most salient features are the decorated arch located at the doorway south of the church and the medieval ringed cross standing on an altar. Near the altar is a graveyard that adds a more historic ambience to the whole venue. Despite the old age of this intimate Catholic church in county Clare, it is obviously well-maintained from the outside to its interiors. In fact, Noughaval Church has the same features of a modern Catholic church - coloured glass resembling the image of Jesus and other religious symbolisms filling all the corners of the site.
