Excursions and Local Attractions
Banagher is a small rural town situated on the banks of the river Shannon. It has a large marina which attracts tourists on river vacations from all over Europe.
It offers traditional music pubs, golf, equestrian activities, water activities, hill walking, fishing and has many historical points of interest.
We are located in the heart of Ireland and are therefore only a short journey to both Dublin and Galway and we would intent to include a visit to these cities. We are also 20mins from Clonmacnoise one of the most important historical monastic sites in Europe.
We are located close to two larger towns which offer cinemas, bowling and shopping.
Farming is an integral part of Banagher life and we would include a visit to a diary farm, a honey making farm and turf cutting.
We have an active and social family life and would include our students in all family activities.
