Practicalities at Lanesborough
Back to topMooring
The main visitor moorings for Lanesborough are at the head of Lough Ree. There is a small harbour, and quayside mooring north of the bridge. Please do not use the new private marina. Immediately south of the bridge moor on the quayside or 150m further, use the new public floating pontoons on the right as you head south. There are also many mooring points on Lough Ree, at Portrunny and Lecarrow, with toilets just across from Quaker Island on Lough Ree. The Harbour itself has been considerably reconstructed and is one of the most attractive locations on Lough Ree.
There are also full marina facilities near Glasson.
