Local Attractions
Ennis Town
Ennis is a truly outstanding town, boasting a wide range of truly original visitor attractions. Lining its narrow, meandering streets is a bewildering variety of fantastic shopping opportunities: unique retail outlets with traditional customer service values. This service ethos extends to its superb range of restaurants: extending from friendly family-oriented establishments, to something a little more special.
Bunratty Castle & Folk Park
Bunratty Castle is one of Europe?s finest. The folk park is a microcosm of Irish life in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Buildings range from the landlord?s house to the smallest peasant?s cottage, along with an assortment of village shops, a smithy, two watermills and an excellent collection of old farm implements. There are live demonstrations of bread-baking, weaving and pottery making.
The Cliffs of Moher
The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top Visitor attractions. The Cliffs are 214m high at the highest point and range for 8 kilometres over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of County Clare. O'Brien's Tower stands proudly on a headland of the majestic Cliffs. From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
The Burren
The Burren, from the Gaelic word Boireann meaning 'rocky place' is an area of limestone rock covering imposing majestic mountains, and tranquil valleys with gently meandering streams. With its innate sense of spiritual peace, extraordinary array of flora and wildlife, and megalithic tombs and monuments older than Egypt's pyramids, the Burren creates a tapestry of colour and a seductively magical aura which few people leave without wanting to experience again.
