If you are wondering about the name this village has, let me tell you that this has trifled quiet a number of intellectual minds seeking to explain its meaning. Etymologically, the name Ennistymon was derived from Inis Diamain. This linguistic origin alone has been a subject of a number of conversations. One definition that has to do with the physical attributes of the village is the “Diamain’s river meadow” version which stresses that the name refers to the abundant riverbank meadow. Others attempt of explanation point out the name as referring to some sort of mystery and hidden island. Whatever this name could mean, one true fact remains: this place is a paradise in itself.
Ennistymon is quite secluded and hidden because of the hills that border it. But this recess stature does not hide this village’s charms. Ennistymon has been a well visited place of travelers who needs a load of exciting adventure and discovery. The village has an opulent past worth harking back to, as well.
What serves as the glare of publicity in this place is the river that flows right in the heart of the village. The river’s majestic view has lured a number of tourists to savor more and revisit this place over and again. Experience this majesty of Ennistymon’s river on your next visit to Co. Clare.
This same place has been an inspiring home of the renowned poet behind the masterpiece “The Midnight Court”, Brian Merriman. Brood over this literary masterpiece as you visit the Ennistymon Library which opens its door graciously the whole week for you.
You may like the idea of passing along the streets of Ennistymon for your shopping spree. The shop fronts alone are already an appealing sight to look at. The overall design of the fronts makes the street look like a huge painting on Ennistymon’s canvass.
Ennistymon may not be as popular as the other villages in this part of Ireland but throughout the years, it has made a considerable mark of its own. The character of the town and the amazing sights and experiences it holds out for its guests are fair enough to level it as of equal greatness and splendor like the other villages.
I could say a million of words praising and commending Ennistymon but the actual description should come from a real experience of the place.
