Lahinch

Lahinch or Lehinch (An Leacht in Irish) is a village on the North West coast of County Clare, Republic of Ireland. The village is a widely known seaside resort and is home to the world famous Lahinch Golf Club.

The ancient name for Lahinch was Leacht Ui Chonchubhair or Leach Ui Chonchuir: the burial place of O’Connor or O’Connor’s Flag Stone. Nowadays, the town name is mostly spelt "Lahinch", but a selection of road signs in the area use the spelling "Lehinch". Pronunciation of the placename is somewhat between the two spellings.
