    Myself and the missus had a very nice couple of days in your beautiful county. Roads and signage are however a bit of a nightmare.

    On leaving Ennis the signpost says Kilkee 52km the next on says Kilkee 53km
    and 5mins later Kilkee 54km:confused:And yes we were going towards Kilkee!!!

    Can someone please tell me is it Le or Lahinch, signposts say both:confused:
    Otherwise its a great place to visit.....Ennis looked clean for a change but I was sorry to see so many places closed down.:(

    Lahinch or Lehinch is the anglicised form of Leath Inse. It can be spelt both ways but Lahinch is the most popular form.
