Carrick-on-Shannon Itinerary
Carrick-on-Shannon–Cora Droma Ruisc in Irish, or “the weir of the marshy ridge” is the county town of Leitrim and home to around 5,000 people. Historically, it served as the gateway to the River Shannon, the longest river in Ireland and an important trade and transportation network. Travellers and traders once used this vibrant town for refuge and lodging to rest in the middle of their long journeys. And just like in days past, modern visitors will feel warmly welcomed by the town’s friendly pubs, restaurants, and residents.
