While
the Shannon region of Ireland is indeed home to the
airport, Bunratty Castle and the Cliffs of Moher, don't
be fooled into thinking that's all it has to offer -
these are whistle-stops on the traditional tourist route.
Ireland's most unusual landscape is to be found in the
Burren and the Hunt Museum in Limerick houses one of
the country's most important art collections. History
is revealed in the mills and thatched cottages of Limerick's
towns while the artists and craft workers of County
Clare blend modern design with older skills. And, of
course, the River Shannon exerts its quiet influence
through the region.
The Shannon Region consists of
counties Clare and Limerick. Clare has an abundance
of visual riches from the famous river Shannon and Lough
Derg which form its eastern boundary and west towards
its rugged Atlantic coastline with towering cliffs and
golden beaches. Limerick is a county of quiet beauty
and rural charm. Its gentle undulating landscape is
pleasing to the eye from the beautiful Golden Vale in
the east to the tidal estuary Shannon Estuary in the
west.
