Mid Clare

The heartland of the County is ideally suited to year-round activities and special interests.

Visit the old-world villages of Quin, Sixmilebridge and Newmarket-on-Fergus or spend an evening at a medieval banquet at Knappogue or Bunratty Castles.

Other local places of interest include 12th century Ennis Abbey and mediaeval Quin Abbey. The Craggaunowen project portrays life in Ireland, from the Bronze Age to mediaeval times, whilst Bunratty Folk Park brings 19th century Ireland vividly to life.

Ennis is a the Traditional music Capital of Ireland and music resounds from many centres, particularly from within its famous character pubs and the newly opened Glór, International Folk Music Centre.

Finally, if it's fishing you are after, the Clare Lakelands are the idea location.
