About Shannonbridge

Shannonbridge takes its name from the long stone bridge, finished in 1757, that carries the road from Offaly into Roscommon on sixteen arches. Boats moor on both sides of the bridge, a few steps from the main street, and a new floating jetty with 12 more berths opened in April 2026; Waterways Ireland lists toilets, showers, a pump-out, shore power and a slipway. On the Roscommon bank, fortifications built around 1810 to hold the crossing against a French landing now house a free exhibition and a café. The village has a cluster of long-running pubs: Luker’s on the river, Fallon’s (since 1846) and JJ Killeen’s, which also has a grocery and rooms. The 5.2 km River Loop walk starts in the village. The River Suck joins the Shannon just below Shannonbridge, and Clonmacnoise is about an hour upstream.
