The Shannon area, named after the nearby river, encompasses the counties of Clare, Limerick, South Offaly and Tipperary North.
The zone has a large number of historical castles, ancient monuments and spectacular cliffs.
Spend a nice day at the area's beaches, which contrast with the imposing Cliffs of Moher.
Another attraction in the area is the Burren, a unique karst-landscape region with different archaeological sites, including the Caherconnell Stone Fort and the Poulnabrone dolmen. You will also find green grasslands, lakes and Norman churches.
The Shannon area has an important airport and the Shannon Free Zone: an international business park that, thanks to the very attractive tax package it offers companies on their profits, has encouraged many multinationals to settle here.
The Shannon area is the perfect destination since its landscape combines beautiful golden beaches, rolling hills, green grassland, luxuriant woods and valleys as well as an interesting historical and cultural heritage.
