Introduction to Ennis, Ireland

A bustling market town and the commercial capital of County Clare, ENNIS is little more than a handful of busy lanes laced together, with a nineteenth-century cathedral, a stout monument to Daniel O'Connell and a medieval friary. You could probably walk from one side of Ennis to the other in half an hour, and you can certainly see all it has to offer in a single afternoon – but it's worth staying longer for the plentiful traditional music. Ennis also makes an excellent base from which to explore the church ruins and tower houses dotted about the surrounding countryside, although you'll need your own vehicle as public transport is minimal.
