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.
