Activities in and around Mountshannon

Places of Interest

There is a ferry which leaves Mountshannon regularly during the tourist season to Holy Island. The foundations for this monastic settlement were laid by St. Caimlin in the seventh century, and the ruins that remain provide an insight into the lives of the religious at this period in our history. The remains of many buildings have survived, as have graveyards and crosses.

Angling Information

Mountshannon is one of Irelands best fly fishing centres, and is always busy with anglers around the Mayfly season.

This travel guide is available free of charge due to the travel agents commission taken on boat hire services on the river. Feel free to browse the site at your leisure - all we ask is that if you are taking a boating holiday on the Shannon, you book it through the Shannon River web site at no extra cost.
