Drumsna

Drumsna Harbour is a small quay and mooring stage on the River Shannon by the village of Drumsna in County Leitrim, near the upper end of the Shannon Navigation. The harbour dates back to 1817 and was historically a busy trading spot before the newer canal to Carrick-on-Shannon took over traffic.

As one of the smaller harbours in the area, space at the quay can fill up on busy weekends when groups of pleasure boats arrive together, so it's worth timing your arrival if you're looking for a berth.

At the quay you'll find fresh water taps and bins provided by the local waterways authority for boaters. There is a car park close to the waterfront, and a short distance away you'll find a shop for supplies as well as local food and drink outlets.

It's just a short walk into the village of Drumsna itself, which offers several shops and restaurants. The area is also home to the Doon of Drumsna, an ancient Iron Age stone wall, and traces of the novelist Anthony Trollope, who lived here while writing his first novel. Tie up at the quay and explore this historic river town.
