The SHANNON VALLEY covers the area in the triangle of land between Athlone,
Ballinasloe and Portumna and centres on the River Shannon, River Suck
and Little Brosna River. The two-sided, folded guide and map combines
artwork and text to introduce the main heritage features such as Clonmacnoise
and Clonfert but also invites the visitor to explore lesser known sites
of historical and environmental interest. The map side is in full colour
and depicts bogs, eskers, river floodplains and species of flowers and
birds. It also marks places of heritage interest and includes angling
locations, marinas and long- distance walking trails that traverse the
area. The reverse side of the map contains fifteen pages of text, illustrated
by seventeen pencil drawings, to provide information on natural history
and heritage, including castles, Napoleonic fortifications and a wealth
of ecclesiastical sites. Grid references are used for easy cross-reference
between the text, illustrations and the map.
