About Labasheeda
Labasheeda is a picturesque village nestled into the gentle slopes that slip down to the shore of the River Shannon. Labasheeda Quay is a designated viewing point along the Shannon Estuary Way, a spectacular and unspoiled riverside loop drive around Ireland’s deepest watercourse. The Labasheeda Peninsula has a rich archaeological record, stretching back almost 2,000 years, with several stately homes, ancient churches, holy wells, Napoleonic Era military constructions and more, all within easy reach (and on barely-trafficked roads) by bike, car or on foot from your Beds of Silk base.

Shannon Estuary
and Wild Atlantic:
The Two Ways
The Shannon Estuary Way is the laid-back sibling to the world-famous and rugged Wild Atlantic Way. The mighty River Shannon flows out through the estuary by the coastline of counties Clare, Limerick and Kerry to meet the Wild Atlantic. Like every family, they’re as different as they are similar! Both of these scenic routes have bustling villages, stunning vistas and history at every turn. Where the Wild Atlantic Way boasts rugged cliffs that drop abruptly to the crashing waves, the Shannon Estuary Way enjoys gentle slopes that roll down to the lapping water. And like the Estuary waters, the pace of life here is easy-going.
