Geocache Description:

Drive-in-cache at Jamestown Quay, Co. Leitrim where you can enjoy the River Shannon and admire the boats. You also have a nice view of Jamestown Bridge that was rebuilt in 1847. It is carried over five segmental arches with rounded cutwaters.

The cache is a micro that is a little smaller than a film canister but it’s not a nano.

Somehow I had a hard time getting the coordinates of the cache location. I hope they are good enough for you.

Please be careful and watch your children when close to the water.

Some info about the location:
Between Jamestown and Drumsna the Shannon forms a loop towards the north. It marks the boundary between Co. Leitrim and Co. Roscommon. When you come from Jamestown (Co. Leitrim) and cross the bridge, you find yourself in Co. Roscommon. After about 1km, you go over the Drumsna Bridge which brings you into Co. Leitrim again. The N4 used to run over Jamestown Bridge and through the town until the by-pass was built in 1996.

Jamestown Quay is a pleasant mooring spot. There are not too many boats since the bridge marks the end of the navigable part of the Shannon. The Shannon loop between Jamestown and Drumsna has lots of shallows. It can only be explored by Dinghy. Cruiser traffic has to go through the Jamestown Canal.

If you are interested in the history of Jamestown, you can find some information displayed across the road at approx. N 53 55.436, W 008 01.805
