Cycling
Kilrush is one of the few designated 'Heritage Towns' in Ireland and breathes a rich maritime history. The streetscape is characterized by Frances Street – one of the widest streets in the country – and historic facades that recall its time as a thriving market town under the Vandeleur family. The modern marina now forms the beating heart and is the gateway to the Shannon Estuary, home to a large population of bottlenose dolphins. For walkers and cyclists, the town offers a perfect mix of heritage, coastal paths, and nature in the nearby Kilrush Forest Park.

Hiking
One of many small and charming towns in Ireland. There is even a lot to discover here: Vandeleur Walled Garden and as an alternative to the very overcrowded Cliffs of Moher, Kilrush is a good starting point for a visit to the Cliffs of Kilkee and the Loop Head lighthouse.
