It was built by the Joyce family in 1460 for the Friars of the Franciscan Third Order Regular.

Dillons Bar & Restaurant

Cliffs of Moher

If you make the time to travel south you cannot miss the Cliffs of Moher. It is a sight you will never forget. The weather on the cliffs can be quite intense so please check the weather conditions before planning to visit. After (or before) the cliffs you can make your way into Liscannor or Lahinch for a bite to eat and some shopping.
