The old St. Kieran's Church in Labasheeda is a silent witness to times gone by, which has now found a new function as a community center. Located right on the Shannon estuary, this place not only offers historical insights, but also a small, quiet break on your bike tour. The building, which dates back to 1837, has retained its rustic charm, with the striking red doors and the old stone walls that could tell stories from almost two centuries.
The adjacent bank invites you to get off your bike for a moment and enjoy the silence by the water. Here you can sit down under the shady trees and let your gaze wander over the Shannon. When the sun breaks through the leaves, small plays of light appear on the grass, and the passing clouds are reflected in the calm water.
This detour is particularly worthwhile for those who like to get off the beaten track and appreciate historical places embedded in the landscape.
