Despite being the largest town in Leitrim county, Carrick-on-Shannon is the smallest county town in Ireland. The historic town lies on the banks of the River Shannon and has a pretty quay that was once used as a major stop-off for river trade for goods such as Guinness stout.
The town has a number of cafes, restaurants and shops, as well as an interesting Neo-Gothic church. Around the June bank holiday, the streets come alive with colour and celebration during the Carrick Carnival.
