Enniscrone

A seaside town at the heart of O’Dubhda country

Enniscrone (Inis Crabhann) sits on Killala Bay at the coastal edge of Tír Fhiachrach, the ancient homeland of the O’Dubhda clan. Today it is a popular seaside town known for Hilda’s Strand, its Victorian seaweed baths, and its five-kilometre surf beach. For the O’Dubhda, it is a homecoming place: Enniscrone Castle (Caisíl Ó Dubhda / Cloonagashel) stands at the south end of the town, and the castle’s successor — the present Enniscrone House — remains in O’Dowd hands today.

This page is a starting point. We intend to expand it with visitor information, places to stay, walking routes, and the deeper O’Dubhda story of this corner of the coast. If you have local knowledge or photographs to contribute, please get in touch.
