Scarriff is a small village on the river Scarriff, just off Scarriff bay on Lough Derg. The village was once an important market town, and today the market survives, and Scariff and the surrounding areas are renowned for the quality of the angling. Just a short trip downriver is the village of Tuamgraney, which can be reached by road or river.

History

The river was only navigable up to the shallows at Scarriff until the Shannon Commissioners dredged the river and lined the banks in the eighteen forties. The village is closely linked to TuamGraney, where Brian Boru, High King of Ireland is reputed to have carried our repairs to the church in the year 1000.

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.
