About Liscannor
Liscannor is the closest town to the famous Cliffs of Moher, some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe and it was the birth-place of John P. Holland (1841-1914), who is credited with inventing the submarine as a means of warfare. Liscannor has its own share of field monuments in the vicinity to interest the archaeologist, such as the 15th century Kilmacrehy church and, in particular, a fine example of a Holy Well (St. Brigid’s Well) which as a place of significance probably dates back to pre-Christian times. It has some excellent pubs serving fresh seafood from local fishermen.
