From
Dublin If you are coming from Dublin the best
approach is to take the N7/M7 heading south, via Kildare,
turn off at the roundabout before Roscrea for Birr. Just before
entering the main town of Birr follow directions to Portumna.
Go straight through the main street of Portumna and keep going
straight on the main road for about 15 miles, following the
signs for Mountshannon, which will keep you on the main road
to Whitegate. You will eventually see signposts for Whitegate
and Shannon Castle Line. Take the road turning left towards
the village of Whitegate. Take a right turn into the village
and next left at the Whitegate Post Office. Take the next
left again, passing the old creamery on your left. Continue
down this road for about 2 miles, past the public harbour.
The Shannon Castle Line Marina is about 500 yards from this
harbour on the right. Alternatively, you could travel the
slightly longer but more scenic route around Lough Derg as
follows: Dublin-Kildare-Roscrea-Nenagh-Killaloe-Scariff-Mountshannon,
and follow directions below.
From Cork/Rosslare
If you approach from Rosslare or Cork direction, you will
head for Limerick and take the N7, Dublin direction. Take
first left after Birdhill for Killaloe, then past Scariff
and through Mountshannon. As you approach Whitegate from this
direction, you turn right just before the village at the signpost
for Shannon Castle Line. At the Nightingale Pub take the second
turn right - also signposted, passing an old white and green
building (the old creamery) on your left. Continue down this
road for about 2 miles, past Dromann harbour. Our marina is
300 metres from this harbour on the right.
From Galway
From Galway, go through Loughrea and then to Portumna. Turn
right onto the main road at Portumna, go past the Shannon
Oaks Hotel and keep going straight on the main road for about
15 miles, following the signs for Mountshannon, which will
