Foynes Shannon Estuary Walk

There are some twisty paths to explore that offer fantastic views out over the estuary and a picnic area which includes a special adapted picnic table for wheelchairs.

For the nature enthusiast, there is a range of tree species, bottle-nosed dolphins, otters and views to Foynes Island, the home of the famous mariner/ circumnavigator Conor O’ Brien.

For the historian, imagine the transatlantic flying boats landing in Foynes 1937-1945. Although relatively small, this is a unique site that offers the visitor a great opportunity to take some time out and soak up what nature has to offer.
