County Clare

Ennis

This bustling market town (pop. 24,000), the main town of County Clare, provides those relying on public transit with a handy transportation hub (good rail connections to Limerick, Dublin, and Galway). Ennis is less than 15 miles from Shannon Airport and makes a good first- or last-night base in Ireland for travelers not locked into Dublin flights. It also offers a chance to wander around an Irish town that is not reliant upon the tourist dollar (though not shunning it either). Muhammad Ali visited the town in 2008 after discovering that one of his great-grandfathers had been born in Ennis. Locals credit his success to his fightin’ Irish side.

The center of Ennis is a tangle of contorted streets (often one-way). Use the steeple of Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral and the Daniel O’Connell monument column (at either end of the main shopping drag, O’Connell Street) as landmarks.
