History of the area
Drumshanbo is mostly known to river and boat folk as it is located where the river Shannon meets Lough Allen, the third largest of the Shannon lakes. Other than that Drumshanbo is a quaint little town with a population under 1,000 people. It’s also freaking gorgeous. Rolling hills, pine and deciduous forest, rivers, lakes and spectacular natural scenery around old iron works and numerous walking trails fishing and much more.
Drumshanbo comes from the Irish Druim Sean Bhoth, meaning “ridge of the old huts.” An local, ancient Tuatha de Danann legend recalls the arrival of magical spirits from the mountains named Ceol, Binn and Téidbhinn - music, melody and harmony. Now that’s some moldy oldey stuff there, folks!
