Cheapest flights to Shannon
The small county town of Shannon, beautifully positioned on a wide stretch of the Shannon just below Lough Key, is a major boating centre, and its marina is full of pleasure boats and Shannon cruisers. The regatta is a lively event, generally held over the first weekend in August. It also makes a good base from which to cycle round the southern loop of Leitrim or to investigate Lough Key and Lough Boderg in Roscommon, and there's good coarse fishing to be had too.
Carrick's raison d'être as a tourist centre received a boost with the reopening of the Ballyconnell-Ballinamore Canal in the summer of 1994. The canal provides the final link in the Shannon-Erne Waterway, 239 navigable miles taking in stretches of still-water canal, canalized river and a sequence of lakes before ending up in Belleek, across the border in County Fermanagh. A latecomer to the canal-building boom that swept the country in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the waterway was completed in 1860, and was used for only nine years before being made redundant by Ireland's growing rail network.
