Kilmurry Neighbourhood Guide
Clare
About Kilmurry
Kilmurry is a small rural locality in east County Clare, within the V95 area and close to Kilkishen, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Quin and Sixmilebridge. It has a quiet, countryside character, with homes and farms set among the rolling farmland typical of this part of Clare rather than a compact village centre. Day-to-day life is peaceful and community-oriented, with larger shopping and service choices generally found in nearby villages and towns. Families can access local primary-school provision around the surrounding parishes, while secondary schools and broader education options are available in places such as Ennis, Shannon and nearby towns. Road travel is the main transport option: the N18 and M18 provide practical connections towards Ennis, Shannon, Limerick and Galway, while Shannon Airport is within straightforward driving distance. Local social life is centred on parish facilities, GAA activity and nearby pubs, with Quin, Sixmilebridge, Newmarket-on-Fergus and Kilkishen providing additional places to eat, shop and meet friends. The area also benefits from proximity to historic landmarks and outdoor attractions, including Quin Abbey, Dromoland Castle grounds and the trails and amenities around east Clare.
