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.

Hiking
In the middle of County Clare, this town with almost 3,000 inhabitants exudes a special magic that is so unique to Ireland.
From the first walk through Kilrush you feel embraced by Ireland's history and ancient myths. The Shannon, whose waves gently splash against the coast, bears the name of a Celtic mythical figure: Sionan. According to legend, it was she who gave life to this mighty river. And so today Ireland's longest and richest river flows proudly through the country, as an eternal reminder of the legends that have shaped this country.
