About Quin
Quin is a historic village in east County Clare, around 11 kilometres south-east of Ennis and within the V95 routing area. It has a compact, largely residential feel, with the impressive ruins of Quin Franciscan Friary providing a distinctive landmark and a strong sense of local history. Day-to-day life is quieter than in Ennis, but the village has community facilities, local pubs and small-scale services, while larger shopping and employment choices are available in Ennis, Shannon and Limerick. Families are served locally by Quin National School, with further primary and secondary options in nearby Clarecastle, Ennis and surrounding villages. There is no railway station in Quin, so commuting is generally by car or bus, with access towards Ennis, Shannon and Limerick via the surrounding regional road network. Local sporting and community life is an important part of the area, with GAA and other clubs serving Quin and its hinterland. The countryside around the village offers attractive walking and cycling opportunities, while the nearby Clare countryside, Ennis town centre and Shannon Airport broaden leisure, retail and travel options.
