Mountshannon

Ireland

Mountshannon sits on Lough Derg's western shore in Clare, where the village harbour serves as your gateway to Holy Island's 6th-century monastic ruins. The R352 connects you to Scarriff and Killaloe, with Dublin about 180 kilometres via the M7 to Nenagh, then south on local roads. Cork drivers can reach it in roughly 120 kilometres through Limerick and Killaloe on the R463. You'll find EV charging stations in nearby Killaloe and Scarriff to support your Shannon region touring. The stone pier hosts regular summer ferries to the island's round towers and Celtic crosses.
