Newtowncashel

united kingdom

Newtowncashel sits right on Lough Ree's western shore in County Longford, about 140 kilometers from Dublin via the M4 to Athlone, then the N55 and R392. The R392 runs along the lakeshore connecting to Lanesborough, while local roads link to Ballymahon and other nearby spots. It's a proper fishing and boating village, with decent golf courses at Athlone and Glasson nearby. The standout feature is being one of the few places sitting directly on Lough Ree's western edge, giving you clear views right across Ireland's second-largest lake on the Shannon.
