The tour will highlight the town’s extraordinary architectural heritage, focusing on its 19th-century traditional shop fronts. These colorful facades tell stories of a time when Ennistymon was a thriving center of commerce, with local families working as skilled craftspeople – from shoe makers to blacksmiths and basket-weavers. A pivotal point of our exploration will be the historic Falls Hotel, formerly Ennistymon House, an 18thcentury mansion built upon the ruins of an O’Brien Castle. This architectural marvel stands as a testament to the town’s rich history, with roots tracing back to the MacNamara clan who played a

crucial role in the town’s development. The tour celebrates Ennistymon’s remarkable cultural legacy, highlighting its reputation as a center for traditional Irish music, literature, poetry, and storytelling. From its historic peak of 52 pubs to its current status as an artistic community, we’ll explore how this small town has maintained its cultural vibrancy
