About Shannon

Shannon is a modern town in County Clare on the Shannon Estuary, home to Shannon Airport and a base for the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher.

Shannon was laid out in the 1960s as a new town for the workers of the nearby airport, which began life as a stopover for transatlantic flights. The town itself is modern and low-rise, with parks and housing estates, but it stands on the northern bank of the wide Shannon Estuary, in a landscape of fields, wetlands and old tower houses.
