Shannon Estuary

Highlight • River

The Shannon Estuary is 102 kilometres (63 mi) long, flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. It defines the main boundary between County Kerry/County Limerick to the south and County Clare to the north.

Tip by

4.97 km

The rougher marshy area south of Shannon Town Park has a roughly circular trail running around the eastern edge. You can link it with the Town Park and the trails along the estuary to make a longer varied walk, within the town.
