Liscannor is a small coastal village in Co. Clare nestled between the seaside town of Lahinch and the fishing village of Doolin. The village lies on the shores o Liscannor Bay and the world remowned Cliffs of Moher are just 5km west of the village. Between Lahinch and Liscannor lies the small village of Moymore.

In the village are the remains of a castle built by the O’ Connors but later wrested from them by the O’ Briens. Nearby in Castle Street is the house in which John Philip Holland (1841-1914), inventor of the first submarine was born.

Some 3km north west of Liscannor on the road to the Cliffs of Moher stands a tall pillar, O’Brien’s monument, erected in 1853. Near this monument lies St. Brigid’s Well, the waters of which are believed to have curative powers.
