Shannon Country A River Journey Through Time – Paul Clements.
When Irish travel writer Richard Hayward set out to explore the Shannon region in 1939, his evocative
Where the River Shannon Flows became an instant classic. Eighty years later author Paul Clements
retraces his steps: from the tiny spring at the Shannon Pot in Cavan to where it unspools into the
Shannon Estuary, 344 km downstream, his journey – by car, boat, bike and on foot – follows the
course of Ireland’s longest river. Along the way Clements paints a compelling portrait of twenty-first
century Ireland, blending interview and anecdote with a keen eye for the natural world. Shannon
Country is a memory map, charting what has been lost and what has changed, for better or worse. It is
a homage to the Shannon, a river that runs through literature, art, history, and mythology with a
riptide pull on our collective imagination
