Killaloe is a small town that sits on the River Shannon on the western bank of Lough Derg.
The town has plenty of places to eat or have a drink, or if you'd like to eat a picnic the canal banks provide a perfect scenic spot to stop.

If you are riding through Killaloe, make sure you pedal along Canal Bank for great views over the water to Ballina and Killaloe Bridge. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the town, which also makes it a perfect start and/or finish point on a ride.

When touring Killaloe, the charm of the town can best be captured on the banks of the canal. The route runs along the water and always offers a view over the river to Ballina and the historic Killaloe Bridge. The soothing rippling, the boats gently rocking and the lush green banks can be wonderfully enjoyed from the saddle. The town itself is full of small cafes and restaurants - an ideal place to take a break or start or end the tour. The road itself has a few bumpy spots, but the scenery easily makes up for that.
