Introducing Kilrush
Kilrush (Cill Rois) is an interesting small town that overlooks the Shannon Estuary and the hills of Kerry to the south. The main street, Frances St, runs directly to the harbour. It is more than 30m wide, reflecting Kilrush’s origins as a port and market town in the 19th century, when there was much coming and going between land and sea. It has the western coast’s biggest marina (www.kilrushcreekmarina.ie) at Kilrush Creek.

Kilrush’s tourist office (905 1577) moves from year to year but is usually on or near Frances St and is open roughly May to September.
In Market Sq there’s an ACC bank with an ATM and on Frances St you’ll find the post office and an AIB bank with an ATM. KK Computing (905 1806; Frances St; per hr €5; 10am-10pm, shorter hours in winter) has internet access.
