'Anchors away me hearties' Traditional Cache

Shannonbridge is a village located on the River Shannon in Co.Offaly and borders the counties of Offaly, Galway and Roscommon, with most of the population living in County Offaly. It has a population of approximately 700 which increases every year with the invasion of tourists to the area.

The geocache is a micro cache hidden near the banks of the river Shannon.

The hiding place is accessible at all times except when the river is flooded.  The cache is not directly beside the water but care should be taken with young children and pets to ensure their safety at all times. There is ample, free parking except at the busy seasons when parking in the village is available.  

Shannonbridge is rich in heritage with Clonmacnoise just 7km away and the village is also flanked by a Special Area of Conservation, the Shannon Callows. The village has one of the oldest bridges still in use over the River Shannon, completed in 1757.
