Drumsna, when translated from  Gaelic means “the ridge of the swimming place”

The village is situated 6 kms east of Carrick-on-Shannon on the River Shannon and is located off the N4 National primary route which links Dublin and Sligo.

The harbour dates to 1817 and was a hive of commercial waterway activity until the more northern navigation canal to Carrick-on-Shannon was opened in 1850.

Today, the waterway is busy with anglers and tourist pursuits in the summer months but at a much more leisurely pace.
