Ennistymon is a
market town on the main Ennis-Lisdoonvarna road, 4 km inland from
Lahinch. The town is located in a wooded valley beside a cascade on
the River Cullenagh. There are a number of beautiful rapids on the
river which runs through the town. These rapids - or 'Falls' - can
be viewed from the town bridge or, better still, from the footpath
or river-side walk. There is good brown trout fishing on the
Cullenagh River and the nearby Dealagh River (about 3 km away).
The town is known for the traditional shop fronts of its centre and
its lively traditional pubs which feature regular music sessions
during the summer season. Ennistymon is home of Daly’s pub owned by
the renowned matchmaker Willie Daly. The town has a number of
beautiful shops which sell local crafts; there are two art
Galleries, a craft shop and once a week a market is held.
Located near the edge of the Burren, Ennistymon makes an excellent
base for a visit to the Burren. It is also a good base for those on
a golfing holiday with courses such as Lahinch and Doonbeg quite
close and the rest of Clare’s courses within an hours drive. Surfing
and Kite Surfing are located in Lahinch, only 4km from Ennistymon.
Doolin is approximately 15 minutes drive from the town and it is
from here that you can take a cruise to the famous Cliffs of Moher
and to the Aran Islands on a day trip. |
