Best places: Things to dos in Shannon, Ireland

8km stretch of cliffs reaching height of 214m, with vista embracing Aran Islands plus viewing tower.

Rugged, mountainous sanctuary encompassing lakes, rivers, forests and lots of waterfalls.

👍👍 The park is vast and beautiful. There are rabbits that can be found while walking if lucky. River Lee passes next to the park and is just breathtaking...

Go-karts, a petting zoo & an adventure playground, plus an ice cream & chocolate factory, at a farm.

Roofless abbey with a courtyard established as a Franciscan friary in 1448 & rebuilt many times.

Prehistoric, dry stone wall fortification overlooking the Atlantic, with an on-site visitor centre.

👍👍 Wow! This was an unexpected find for us along the Wild Atlantic Road. It was amazing, dramatic and jaw dropping. I think almost better than the romantic cliffs of moher.

👍👍 Love Doneraile park. This is a wonderful free wildlife park located in Doneraile which is about 10 minutes from Buttevant. Lovely deer, swans and trails for walking and fantastic tours of the house also available for a small fee. There is a lovely coffee shop too on the grounds

👍👍 The best day ever. Sunny.. not windy great time for relaxing with sounds of ocean waves. Love it. Still my best favourite places 💕

👍👍 A hilariously historical tour of horrors through Cork with the delightful Damian promises lots of fun for everyone! If you plan to visit Cork, do it. If you have already been to Cork, go back and do it.

👍👍 Plenty of space for walking, biking, and a lovely restaurant and Murphy's ice cream on the way in. Bring a jacket as it can be very blustery. A must see beach in Kerry. As the saying goes... Where an inch is a mile.

👍👍 Thank you so much for having a gate that opens before 7 am . That is genius .. the car park is 24 hours . The place was beautiful , not a bit of rubbish anywhere for miles . Thanks from Joe and I . We cooked our departing meal in the car park on a stove and Joe got apple tart with cream from the s...

👍👍 Excellent tour with a variety of stops along the way to the cliffs and back to Galway. My favourite included the caves and the town of Doolin. Perfect amount of time in each location. Thanks John for getting us everywhere and being a great tour guide 🙌

👍👍 I sincerely couldn't recommend this enough. Absolute highlight of my trip to Ireland. The main tourist part was great to see the cliffs from that angle, but being able to hike around this point and see that old tower was incredible. Far surpassed expectations. If you're going to the Cliffs, you HAVE...

👍👍 Absolutely stunning area. The scenery has a wild and rugged grandeur. Rather off the beaten path which is kinda nice. Not to crowded. Definitely worth the visit. Tremendously beautiful.

Verdant, 28-hectare park for endangered animals, plus a large garden with numerous plant species.

Interpretive center built into a hillside with exhibits themed around the ocean, rock, nature & man.

👍👍 There is a lot here to keep your interest. There are 2 loop walks - 1 with a 45 min walk and another taking about 1hr 30 mins. Both are nice forest walks with river and waterfalls. Some parts had walkways. Some parts were a bit slippery when wet and are not for the infirm. I would recommend for fa...

Ruined castle housing the famed Blarney Stone, a kiss of which is said to grant the gift of the gab.
