The main street in Ennistymon, looking from the bridge intersection up to the church. The falls at Ennistymon are one of this beautiful town's most notable features.
     

This archway leads from the main street shown above to a cleared area overlooking the town's falls. Two views of one of the town's more prominent businesses, the local funeral home.
     

Two views of the same home- the front (left) and the rear garden areas showcase the tremendous pride and skills that residents apply to their lots. The town's cemetery occupies the highest point in the town, and its parking lot serves as a campsite for "The Travelers," Irish families who have adopted a nomadic lifestyle.
     

A view of Ennistymon from the bottom of the road leading up to the cemetery. Celtic crosses abound in this cemetery, as they do in just about all of the area's small, old burial places. At the crest of the cemetery hill is a ruined church overlooking the town and surrounding countryside.

This is sort of a "reverse view" of the picture above and to the right.
