If you're looking for a route that's a challenge for the legs as well as the senses, you'll love this section of the Shannon Estuary Way between Labasheeda and Ballynacally. It's known as one of the most scenic stretches in the area, and rightly so. This route offers fantastic views of the wide Shannon Estuary time and time again. The gentle ups and downs of the road take you past flowering fields, narrow country roads and along the water - ideal for clearing your head for a few moments.

Despite the beauty of the route, keep a close eye on traffic as cars also use this route. You can stop for a short break and just enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings before tackling the next stretch. There's a magical atmosphere over the estuary, especially in the early hours of the morning when the first rays of sun hit the water.

It's worth bringing plenty of water with you as the route is long and there aren't many opportunities to replenish supplies along the way. So grab your racing bike, breathe in the fresh sea air and take in the scenery – an unforgettable experience on two wheels.
