Liscannor is a small
coastal village in Co. Clare nestled between the seaside town of
Lahinch and the fishing village of Doolin. The village lies on the
shores o Liscannor Bay and the world remowned Cliffs of Moher are
just 5km west of the village. Between Lahinch and Liscannor lies the
small village of Moymore.
In the village are the remains of a castle built by the O' Connors
but later wrested from them by the O' Briens. Nearby in Castle
Street is the house in which John Philip Holland (1841-1914),
inventor of the first submarine was born.
Some 3km north west of Liscannor on the road to the Cliffs of Moher
stands a tall pillar, O'Brien's monument, erected in 1853. Near this
monument lies St. Brigid's Well, the waters of which are believed to
have curative powers.
Liscannor is perhaps best known for the dark blue/black coloured
natural stone that is mined there. Liscannor Stone has found its way
all over Ireland and indeed the world and can be seen in the
construction of homes through out the locality.
Worth visiting in the Liscannor area is the Moher Hill Farm and
Leisure Park. Beautifully situated overlooking Liscannor Bay, this
