The plains of the Shannon River The vast central plain is crossed by the Shannon River, the longest in Ireland (161 miles). Vladimira Dvorakova / age fotostock;
The centre of the island, between Connemara and Dublin, is a vast plain crossed by the River Shannon and covered with lakes. The groves, farmlands surrounded by rocks, are omnipresent. During the fishing season, the Shannon is actually the best place for fishing enthusiasts as it is well-stocked with fish. The region also offers a very pleasant environment for a quiet holiday, far from the hustle and bustle of Dublin and the west coast.
