Created as an industrial town in the 1960s and named after the nearby river, Shannon is a great base for exploring the wild natural beauty of the County Clare area. Combining spectacular windswept landscapes and vibrant Irish culture, it’s arguably one of the best places to visit in Ireland. Ireland’s longest river, the Shannon River, is a highlight, and is perfect for cruising along. The ocean pummels Clare’s coast year-round, eroding rock into mesmerising formations and surfers flock to the beaches during the summer.

The flight time to Shannon is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.

The Irish weather tends to be highly changeable, so we recommend packing for every season. Be prepared for wind and rain as this is very typical for Ireland, particularly on the coast. On average the warmest month is August, the coolest January and the wettest October.

If the land is hard, Clare's soul certainly isn’t; traditional Irish culture and music flourish here. And it's not just a show for tourists either. In larger towns, and even the tiniest of villages, you'll find pubs with traditional music sessions year-round. The Shannon region is a popular tourist destination with highlights including the Shannon River, Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, the unique karst landscape of the Burren and the Wild Atlantic Way. Once you’ve enjoyed a long coastal walk, you’ll be feeling hungry. Try some traditional Irish dishes like the full Irish breakfast or an Irish stew. Or why not enjoy a sambo (the Irish word for sandwich) and an Irish coffee?
