Killinure Point

Killinure Point is a peninsula at the south-eastern end of Lough Ree in County Westmeath, Ireland on the River Shannon.

It is roughly 0.2 km from Coosan Point (by line of sight), which is the opposite side of the narrow waterway forming the mouth of the Inner Lakes.

The name Killinure derives from the Irish Coill an Iúir meaning 'wood of the yew tree'.

[3] The land at Killinure Point was the property of the local Waterston (or Waterstown) House landlord, originally granted in the Cromwellian era eventually changed into private hands in the late 19th century.

There was a ferry service at Killinure Point operating for many years which ended only after a tragedy during the 19th century in which several people were drowned.
