Local features
editNohoval's name originally came from the shortening of the Irish language name of "Nuachong-Bhail" or "Nuhongval", which meant "new habitation" when translated.[5] Ordnance Survey Ireland and other mapping publishers seem to consistently list the village on their maps as Nohaval.[6][7] The village is home to Nohoval Cove, a small cove on the west of Ireland coastline near the Wild Atlantic Way. The area surrounding it is full of abandoned old lime kilns.[8] The village had a local shop, which closed in 2018, and a local pub. The pub was closed, however it later went to auction in 2019, with the sale including the pub's licence to sell alcohol for €225,000.[9][10]
In 1840, a three-storey mill was erected as part of a suspected Irish Famine relief project.[11] It was built overlooking Man of War Cove (also called Smuggler's Cove), where numerous shipwrecks occurred.[11] It had fallen into ruin until 1994 when it was restored and converted into a private dwelling.[11]
Churches
editNohoval's Church of Ireland parish church is Nohoval Church, also known as St Peter's Church,[citation needed] and is under the ecclesiastic jurisdiction of the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross.[12] The church's vestry, called Glebe House, was constructed in 1816 and was home to the vicar of the church until 1978 when a widow of one of the clergymen purchased it from the Church of Ireland with the aim of making it into a hotel which never materialised.[13] The Roman Catholic Church in the village is represented by St Patrick's Church in the Diocese of Cork and Ross.[14] The Catholic church also support the local primary school, Scoil Nuachabháil, with the Bishop of Kerry opening a new extension in 2019.[15]
