A beautiful village on the banks of the River Shannon, in the heart of great angling waters, Shannonbridge is ever popular with fishermen and tourists alike and certainly has much to offer for those looking for the 'craic'. Three great waters combine to offer a wide choice of angling- a mighty stretch of the River Shannon, it's tributary the River Suck and the Grand Canal. Several other smaller waters such as the Brosna and Little Brosna also offer their own special charm not to mention the abundance of fish! Artillery fortification unique to Ireland or Britain are located here. These fortifications date from the Napoleonic era.
