Location
One of Ireland’s most characterful and picturesque towns, situated at the heart of the county on a bend in the River Fergus, Ennis is the capital town of Co. Clare. The name Ennis comes from the Irish word “Inis”, meaning island, relating to an island formed between two courses of the River Fergus on which the Franciscan Friary was built.
