North or upper Shannon is probably the liveliest section of the river. There are many pretty villages with excellent mooring facilities. Visit Rockingham Forest Park on the water and get a bird’s eye view of the rich lay of land from its grand tower. Lough Key has to be one of the most scenic spots on the Shannon River with low hanging tree branches casting summer shadows over the water. Boyle is a great watering hole with many colorful restaurants and pubs. An Irish pub by the water, what better place to cast anchorage and enjoy a pleasant evening with the local mates.
Renowned across the world, this is the site of an early Christian settlement founded by St. Ciaran in the 6th century. The ruins include a cathedral, several churches, an ancient cemetery, two towers and 3 large crosses. To get there, you have to navigate under a series of old stone arch-bridges that literally make you feel like you are traveling back in time to Clonmacnoise of the 6th century.
