About Ballynacargy
Ballynacargy, also spelt Ballynacarrigy, is a village of a couple of hundred people that grew up around its canal harbour, opened in 1817 as the canal pushed west towards the Shannon, and became a market for the farms around. Cross the old stone bridge from the greenway and you find a harbour with room for a good number of boats and a landscaped picnic area with bike parking; Waterways Ireland lists toilets, showers and a slipway here. To the north-east, in the old Tristernagh demesne, stand the ruins of Tristernagh Priory, a house of Augustinian canons founded in 1192 and wrecked in 1536, and of Templecross, a small medieval church. West of the village three more locks lead to a lock-free run of about 7 km past Abbeyshrule and the Whitworth Aqueduct.
