Ennis, County Clare

Ennis is one of the main towns  and the main road junction of County Clare. It is an old town with many winding streets, it is an ever expanding business and marketing centre. The River Shannon and Lough Derg make up the eastern boundary of County Clare. On the West is the scenic and varied Atlantic coast, with mighty cliffs, caverns and sandy bays. To the north, this beautiful coast rises nearly 700 feet above the sea in the form of the sheer Cliffs of Moher; here also is the amazing limestone district called the Burren, with its many caves, underground streams and rare flora and fauna. On the South is the broad Shannon estuary, where Ireland's most prominent river meets the sea.

The origins of Ennis date back to 1240, when Donnchadh Caribreach O'Brien helped to found the Franciscan Order in Ennis, by his offer of hospitality to wandering Friars. The old Abbey, which was built at that time, is one of the most important and historic National Monuments in the Shannon region. Ennis progressed mainly as a market town, supported by trade on the River Fergus between here and the port at Clarecastle, and by the presence of students attending the school for theological studies established by the Friars in the Abbey.
