Ennistymon & the Cascades

Inis Díomáin

A market town about 4 km east of Lahinch, where a street of colourfully painted shopfronts meets a stepped waterfall on the River Inagh.

Inis Díomáin is a traditional market town roughly 4 km east of Lahinch. Its main street keeps old shops with hand-painted colourful signs, along with several traditional pubs. In the town centre, the River Inagh drops over a wide, stepped waterfall known as The Cascades, which can be enjoyed from the stone bridge or from the path behind the Cascades Hotel. The falls are especially impressive after rain.

There is no charge to visit. It makes a pleasant half-hour to one-hour stop after surfing in Lahinch, and the town's cafés and bakeries have good reputations.
