Carrick-on-Shannon, County town on River Shannon, Ireland
The town stretches along both banks of the River Shannon, with its main section in County Leitrim and its train station in County Roscommon.
Located at a strategic crossing point, the settlement received its royal charter in 1607 and developed into a borough with dedicated annual fairs.
The Dock Arts Centre, established in 2005 within a former courthouse, contains a theater and galleries that host exhibitions and the Water Music Festival.
The town serves as a central point for river navigation, providing numerous boat rental services and access points to explore the Shannon-Erne Waterway.
St. Mary's Catholic Church, completed in 1879, stands as an example of Neo-Gothic architecture within the Kiltoghert parish.
