The Loop Head Peninsula, Ireland

The house is located only a few walking minutes from Querrin pier on the Shannon estuary. This is a quiet place for angling, for the children to jump of the pier for a swim and to fish for crabs, for kayaking and boating.

Loop Head Peninsula is surrounded by the River Shannon to the South, and by the Atlantic Ocean to the North with a majestic coastal scenery. The Shannon Estuary is home to more than 100 dolphins which can regularly be seen from the coast or on dolphin watching boat tours from Carrigaholt, just 10 mins. away. Loop Head has been nominated as a European Habitat Eden as the rugged beauty of the area is largely unspoilt - so much so that the area can boast of having the purest air in Europe offering many exciting outdoor activities. (see next page). The Loop Head Peninsula was also the overall winner of the competition "The best place to holiday in Ireland" by "The Irish Times" in 2013!

The town of Kilkee is just 7kms. away and one of the country's most popular seaside resorts with quite a few natural amenities around its horseshoe-shaped bay. The safe sheltered sandy beach is protected by Duggerna Reef, which is a natural wonder itself with some large and small rock pools full of marine life. Breathtaking cliff walks offer splendid scenery. This Cliff scenery all along to Loop Head Lighthouse is one of Ireland's greatest natural attractions.

Kilrush is a market and heritage town with access to the Shannon River through a modern Marina. One of its most interesting attractions is historical Scattery Island, an Irish landmark which can be reached by a boat from the marina.

The coast road from Kilkee to the North brings you to the amazing scenery of the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren.
