About Edenderry
The main line passes south of Edenderry, and a short branch leads to a harbour near the centre. It was completed in 1802 after the Marquess of Downshire overturned the Blundell family’s opposition and paid the £692 bill himself. The harbour hosts an annual festival, and a free audio-guided heritage trail starts at the 1830 Town Hall and takes in the site of Blundell Castle and the canal harbour; the ruined Franciscan friary is nearby. On the main line look out for George’s Bridge, Colgan’s Bridge and Downshire Bridge, and remember the Blundell Aqueduct: in 1989 the bank burst near here and some 29 km (18 miles) of canal drained away. There is a slipway at George’s Bridge, but large boats should contact Waterways Ireland first (+353 1 868 0148). Anglers come for tench, roach, pike and bream, and the town has cafés, shops and pubs.
