Let’s discover Rooskey together

The simplicity, beauty and wonder of our natural environment is utilised and shared by us for the benefit of all.

The beautiful village of Roosky is a very well known and popular tourist destination along the Shannon. The old town is famous for its angling and the waterways are well stocked with perch, roach and bream.  If you are in the mood for exercise there are some lovely peaceful walking trails around the area also. The harbour is well equipped with mooring points to spend the evening and there is plenty of craic to be had in the local pubs. Ireland’s premier commercial fishery is located in Roosky and is good fun for experienced anglers and novices alike. This part of the country is home to some of Ireland’s more interesting scenery and there are walking trails to take you through a labyrinth of boggy areas, forestry and lakeside shores. So explore and enjoy!
