Killaloe Farmers' Market

Highlight • Rest Area

Just at the end of the Bridge, on the Killaloe side. Open on Sunday mornings, and a good spot to grab a treat or a coffee.

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.
