Starting at one of the town's oldest and most haunted buildings, the Old Ground Hotel encorporates a 1500's medieval towerhouse with a story to tell!
The old Gallows Green - hanging was one of many of the town's old punishments.
We explore this site of the old Ennis graveyard and stories from its past!
The old markets were not always peaceful affairs - we explore the tensions that could sometimes lead to what were known as the market murders!
We head down one of Ennis's bow-ways to explore how a town like Ennis was effected by poverty and famine, and the spirits from that time that still haunt these old laneways.
We recreate the sights (and smells!) of old Ennis brought to life through the narrow streets and old shopfronts of the town.
This busy heart of Ennis was also once the site for the witchcraft trial of the infamous wise woman of Clare, Biddy Early!
Stories from the old Ennis orphanage and industrial school are brought to life with a tragic tale.
The old causeway of the town, once the location of a sighting of the banshee and death coach - figures from Irish folklore and mythodology that remained in strong belief into the 20th century in Ennis.
The 13th century Ennis Abbey is the foundations of the town, and home to many of the towns past residents, including the local ghost!
We end the tour at the top of Abbey St beside the O'Connell monument, our memorable exploration of the darker side of the town's history allowing us see it through new eyes.
