Roscommon

Roscommon offers an enchanting glimpse of hidden treasure to those who seek. Brimful of history and heritage, Roscommon boasts many archaeological structures including Rathcroghan, ancient home of the High Kings. From more recent times, great houses and castles are to be found. Here, a more tranquil and serene beauty reigns, framed by mountain, moor land and lake. Nature and wildlife flourish in undisturbed habitat. The warmth of the people is tangible, part of the essence of the county.

County Roscommon is surrounded by prime coarse fishing rivers and lakes. These catchments have consistently produced good bags of exceptional size fish and being sparsely populated and removed from areas of populations it boasts a clear and unspoilt environment.

Roscommon offers much to the holiday traveller and the more active-minded. The county is three-quarters bounded by water and has the longest stretch of the River Shannon of all the ten counties through which it passes.
