About Lecarrow
Lecarrow lies on the Roscommon side about 17 km north-west of Athlone, joined to Lough Ree by a 1.5 km canal cut in the 1840s to carry limestone from the local quarry to the Shannon works at Athlone. The L-shaped harbour at its end dates from around 1850 and has been renovated: Waterways Ireland lists toilets, showers, a pump-out, a slipway and shore power, in a service block it runs itself. Coffey's, a bar and shop a short walk away, has live music on Wednesday nights, and the Yew Tree restaurant serves meals. St John's Holy Well is in the village. On St John's Point, 4 km east, lie the remains of Rindoon, a royal town and castle founded in 1227 and abandoned in the 14th century; Roscommon County Council says there is currently no public access.
