Broadford (Шаблон:Irish place name)[1] is a small village in eastern County Clare, Ireland and a Catholic parish of the same name.
The hamlet was immortalised by The Waterboys in the instrumental 'The Trip to Broadford.' This reflects the cultural importance of traditional Irish music in County Clare, though the village itself is not especially notable for its contribution to the nation's musical heritage.
The R466 road passes through the village of Broadford between O'Callaghan's Mills and O'Briens Bridge. It is tucked into the Glenomra Valley on the southern slopes of the Slieve Bearnagh Mountains near Doon Lough.
The Catholic parish of Broadford is in the Diocese of Killaloe. It originated in the medieval parishes of Kilseily and Killokennedy. Part of Killokennedy was amalgamated with Kilseily to form what is now the parish of Broadford. The parish today has three church buildings, which as of 2014 served about 800 parishioners.[2]
