Shannon (region)

From towering cliffs and golden beaches to quiet rural farmland, Shannon is full of contrasts and boasts some of Ireland’s most unusual landscapes.

Consisting of County Clare and County Limerick, the Shannon region encompasses both rugged Atlantic coast and rolling green hills. Discover a spectacular landscape dissected by the meandering River Shannon and filled with valleys and lakes. Shannon is also considered to be the birthplace of traditional Irish music and features some of the most-visited natural attractions in the whole country.

Walk along the Cliffs of Moher, Ireland’s most visited natural attraction. Stretching 5 miles (8 kilometres) along the coast of County Clare, the cliffs offer jaw-dropping views of Galway Bay.

Head to Craggaunowen - The Living Past Experience for a taste of Shannon’s history. Here, see interpretations of what life was like in Ireland during prehistoric times and explore a medieval castle.

There are actually a few historic castles and abbeys in the region, such as Leamaneh Castle, Corcomroe Cistercian Abbey and the impressive Knappogue Castle.

Take a boat tour along the River Shannon, admiring the scenery and wildlife, or paddle yourself in a kayak. Walk along the Clare Glens Loop, a route which takes you through stunning scenery along the banks of the River Clare.

Other natural attractions include Vandeleur Walled Gardens, set among 170 hectares (420 acres) of woodland, which includes many unusual plants and a butterfly trail.

Stroll along Fanore Beach, a relatively unspoiled stretch of sand sheltered by dunes. Enjoy a round of golf at one of Shannon’s many picturesque golf courses, or get your heart racing with any number of outdoor sports such as caving, sea fishing or surfing. Drive along the Kilrush Shannon Dolphin Trail and look for dolphins swimming in the estuary and learn more about the species at the Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Centre.

Fly into Shannon’s own airport, which services a wide range of international and domestic flights. Walk around the town of Shannon, or rent a car to explore some of the surrounding natural attractions at your own pace. 

Home to some of Ireland’s most famous natural and historical attractions, Shannon deserves a spot on any holiday itinerary in the Emerald Isle.
