Tarmonbarry: Bridge, Weir and the Saint's Sanctuary

Walk the river village of Tarmonbarry from its mid-nineteenth-century bridge and weir — where the Shannon Navigation Commissioners' engineering still regulates the river and carries the N5 across the Leinster–Connacht boundary — past the marina and Main Street. From there the trail points a few kilometres out toward Whitehall to Kilbarry, the ruined monastic 'termon' of St Berach that gave Tarmonbarry its name. Looking for things to do in Tarmonbarry?
