Shannon Harbour

Shannon Harbour (Irish: Caladh na Sionainne) is a small village situated on the banks of the Grand Canal in County Offaly,[1] Ireland.

The name reflects the distance, population, and low-lying land of the area compared to its counterpart.

The village has docking facilities and two pubs, McIntyre's and the Canal Bar.

The first trade barge traveled from Dublin to Shannon Harbour in 1804, and by 1820, passenger boats made the 70-mile trip from Dublin to Shannon Harbour in 18 hours.
