We throughly enjoyed admiring the beautiful architectural ruins and reading the informative displays at the Ennis Friary. While there, it was easy to feel that the rest of the world melted away, as we took our time looking closely at the exhibits and ruins and reading all of the informative wall panels. Also, the friendly staff from the National Monuments Service who were on duty during our visit clearly had passions for history and for serving the public. Both staff members deserve a special shout-out, as they were incredibly helpful in explaining the history of the complex and the surrounding parts of Ennis. If you want to experience a peaceful place that transports you quietly back to another time, you'll enjoy a visit at the Ennis Friary.

We were on our way to Aillwee when we just happened to drive past and just had to stop. What an amazing spot, the landscape of the Burren is bizarre and fascinating to start, and to then have such a magnificent artifact there in the open...wow! In my honest opinion, this free attraction is better than Stonehenge and more than worth a stop - I can only imagine that it would be delightfully colourful with the wildflowers in spring and summer

My family and I had a private driver for the day. We planned on making a few stops at historic sites we were interested in seeing on our way to Galway. He encouraged that we also stop at Quin Abbey during our trip. This place was amazing!! There were no tourists crowding the area which allowed for perfect picture taking opportunities. I really enjoyed being able to explore the castle at my own pace. The site itself was beautiful and very well kept. This was definitely one of the best parts of my trip here in Ireland!!
