About Dowra

Dowra sits in County Leitrim right on the border with Fermanagh, making it a handy spot for exploring the borderlands. You'll reach it via the R207 from Blacklion, with longer routes coming through Carrick-on-Shannon from Dublin or via Enniskillen from Belfast. The roads are narrow and winding as you'd expect in rural Leitrim, so take your time. The real draw here is the Shannon Pot just down the road, where Ireland's longest river bubbles up from underground caves in a small pool. There's decent EV charging about, though you'd want to plan ahead for longer trips.
