Gleninagh Castle er et imponerende 1500-tals L-formet beboelsestårn, der majestætisk skuer ud over Galway Bay. Dette tidligere højborg for O'Loughlin-klanen er bygget af Burrens karakteristiske kalksten og er stadig i bemærkelsesværdig god stand. Ved siden af slotsruinen finder du en lille middelalderkirke, en hellig kilde og en cirkulær 'fullacht fiadh' (madlavningsplads). Kontrasten mellem den robuste bygning og det golde, grå karstlandskab gør dette til et fascinerende historisk ankerpunkt langs den nordlige kyst af County Clare.
