Explore Clare, Limerick, and Beyond
County Clare is full of hidden gems. Drive to the Cliffs of Moher for the world-famous Atlantic views, or explore the unique limestone landscapes of The Burren. Make time for a day trip to the Aillwee Caves.
The coastal towns of Kilkee and Lahinch are perfect for a walk along the beach or a surf lesson. Doolin is known for traditional music and local culture, and nearby Lisdoonvarna is famous for its Matchmaking Festival, immortalised in song by Christy Moore. These towns offer a glimpse of rural Irish life, music, and community, all easily reached with a hire car from Shannon.
Limerick City is a short drive from Shannon and makes a convenient base. Stop at Bunratty Castle for a look at old Ireland and a maybe even a Medieval Banquet, King John’s Castle, Thomond Park, and lovely restaurants and coffee shops that line the streets along the River Shannon in Limerick. Then nearby Adare, known for its thatched cottages and village charm, is a must stop on most itineries in the region.
With a hire car, you can also explore further afield: drive along Loop Head Peninsula, take the ferry from Doolin to the Aran Islands, or head north along the Wild Atlantic Way to Connemara, Killary Harbour, and beyond. Shannon Airports location makes it ideal for both short coastal loops and longer self-drive tours of Ireland’s west and north.
