Battlebridge Lock is located on the River Shannon – Lough Allen Canal, 3 ½ miles from the southern entrance to Acres Lake in Drumshanbo, writes Martin Branagan.
The Lock is situated just a stone’s throw from Beirne’s of Battlebridge, the well-known Caravan Park, and a short walk from picturesque Leitrim village.
Battlebridge Lock forms the start of the Drumleague Lock Loop – a 5kms walk that takes you alongside the canal to Drumleague Lock.
After crossing the canal at the Lock, follow the trail back to Battlebridge Lock.
