Dowra is a picturesque village in northwest County Cavan, located near the source of the River Shannon. The village is rich in history, and is along the Beara-Breifne Way, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

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.

The triangular-shaped Lough Allen is a beautiful lake on the River Shannon, out of which the Shannon takes it source. Measuring 9 miles (14.5 km) long and 3 miles (5 km) in width, the lake is an impressive sight. Humans have been present at the lake for thousands of years. Mesolithic traces such as more than 1,000 stone tools made from flint, chert, quartz, mudstone, and basalt were discovered at the lake. Today, the lake is a wonderful place to relax and take in the biodiversity. The water quality is excellent, although the lake's ecology is unfortunately under threat from invasive species such as curly waterweed, like many other lakes in Ireland.

Beautiful view looking back down to Lough Allen in the last hours of daylight ... It's the middle section of a 12km climb and well worths the effort.
