Ennis

united kingdom

Ennis sits on the River Fergus, perfectly placed for exploring Clare's famous sights like the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, both just 35 kilometers away. Shannon Airport is 20 kilometers south, making it handy for international visitors. The medieval town center has winding lanes filled with colorful shopfronts and traditional pubs where you'll hear some of the finest traditional music in Ireland. County Clare produces more renowned musicians per capita than anywhere else, and live sessions happen most nights with fiddles, concertinas, and bodhráns. The 13th-century Ennis Friary anchors the historic core, while a statue of Éamon de Valera stands on the main street.
