Shannon Harbour
Shannon Harbour is unique. A purpose built village, it was designed, constructed and operated as a trans shipping centre. Situated on the grand Canal at its terminus where it joins the Shannon at the mouth of the Brosna River. Shannon Harbour was original, a town constructed to meet the requirements of accommodation and storage of its lifeblood, the Grand Canal. The village has returned to life in recent years attracting visitors from all over the world for a myriad of reasons. Excellent course fishing facilities in a central location attract fishermen and women from Britain and main-land Europe. It is a birdwatchers paradise with many rare birds visiting and thriving in the Shannon Callows. Bullock Island only a short walk from the 36th or lower lock is the last bastion of the endangered corncrake, once one of the most common European Birds
