About Shannon

The Town of Shannon is located in western Ireland and is fairly new, as it was developed in the 1960s. Its international airport serves the surrounding region and villages, making it a great starting point for travellers who plan on exploring the Western and Southern areas of the country.

Weather & Best Time to Visit

The warmest time to visit Shannon is during the summer, with the highest temperatures being in late July. While this time of year is peak tourism season in larger Irish cities, Shannon doesn’t see as high of crowds, as it is not a touristy area. That being said, Shannon is the ultimate Irish town to visit during the summer as you can enjoy the beautiful weather without overwhelming crowds.

Things to Do

A trip to Shannon wouldn’t be complete without taking part in a medieval banquet at Bunratty Castle. Prepare to eat like a king in the castle during this four-course meal in the castle’s great hall. Bunratty Castle is a popular experience, so it’s advised to make a reservation months in advance, to ensure you have a seat at the royal table. While at Bunratty Castle you will want to check out Folk Park, a “living” village with over 30 buildings that replicates life in the 19th century. Folk Park also features activities that kids will love such as a mystical fairy trail, a Viking playground, and several farm animals like donkeys and ducks. Another castle that shouldn’t be missed is the 15th Century Craggaunowen Castle. It sits next to a reconstructed ancient island settlement with a cooking pit, a ring fort, and massive straw huts. There are even live battle reenactments to entertain visitors.

One of the best things about Shannon is that it’s relatively close to the legendary Cliffs of Moher. This is one of the most essential attractions to see when in Ireland, as these breathtaking cliffs stand 700-feet tall and offer stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. The Cliffs of Moher are only a 50-minute drive from Shannon and make for a great day trip. Another perfect outdoor activity is going for a kayak ride on the River Shannon. This gorgeous river with smooth waters stretches 239 miles and is a staple in the town. There are a few companies that provide kayak rentals, for a safe and fun experience. And if you are kayaking during the summer, keep an eye out for whales and dolphins!
