Introducing Glandore & Union Hall
The pretty waterside villages of Glandore (Cuan Dor) and Union Hall burst into life in summer when fleets of yachts tack into the shelter of the Glandore Harbour inlet.

Union Hall, accessible from Glandore via a narrow road bridge over the estuary, was named after the 1800 Act of Union, which abolished the separate Irish parliament. The lovely 1994 family film War of the Buttons, about two battling gangs of youngsters, was filmed here.
There’s an ATM, post office and general store in Union Hall and there’s food available in both villages. Union Hall has the most choice, with a deli, coffee shop and several pubs, two of which have fantastic waterside terraces.
