There are many more trails in Ireland's Shannon Region just waiting to be explored - from the scenic driving routes which take you by some of the most stunning landscapes and wonderful destinations in the region, to the fantastic horse riding trails which traverse mountainous areas, forests and golden beaches on the Atlantic coast.
The open road beckons. Where will it take you today? The Shannon Region offers space, stunning scenery, changing landscapes, special journeys and wonderful destinations.
Much of it, far from the regular tourist honeypots, is the preserve of visitors whose first love is heritage and landscape. Other parts, such as the Cliffs of Moher, draw the crowds because of their spectacular beauty. But even these have space enough to accommodate those that want to enjoy them in peace and solitude.
Enjoy the endless diversity of the region on our suggested driving routes which will introduce you to the region. Each one makes a comfortable day trip, allowing you to visit all the places named and get back in time for dinner. But you could equally enjoy taking a couple of days or even a week for any of them.
