If you’re not in the mood for golf or fishing, there’s another alternative: Enniscrone beach. Stretching over 5km, it’s renowned for its idyllic setting and the soothing properties of its salt water and seaweed. The Irish love to go there for a swim at weekends or during the summer. Children can enjoy a supervised water playground and make sandcastles on the beach, while you can take full advantage of the Enniscrone beach setting.

Last but not least, don’t miss the Iron Age forts not far from Enniscrone. Most are circular in shape, and are still remarkably well preserved.

Another site worth visiting is Valentine Abbey, now in ruins. This abbey was built in the 18th century and features a number of carved Celtic crosses. Other ruins nearby include Pullacheeney Castle, Bardic School and Firbis Castle.
