About Drumsna

Drumsna’s harbour dates from 1817, and for a while the village marked the head of the navigation, a busy port with its own courthouse and jail. When the rebuilt Jamestown Canal took the main route past it around 1850, trade moved on, and today boats reach Drumsna by turning upstream from the lower end of the canal to moor at the quay. Opposite the quay, the Doon of Drumsna, an Iron Age earthwork up to 6 m high, runs for 1.6 km across the neck of land towards Jamestown. Anthony Trollope found the setting for his first novel in a ruined house nearby, and a 10 km walking trail named after him explores the village and its surroundings. Drumsna has shops, pubs and places to stay, public toilets near the water and good coarse fishing.
