About Drum (Roscommon)

Drum sits on Lough Ree's eastern shore where the Shannon widens into one of Ireland's largest lakes. The town lies on the N61, the main route between Athlone (15km south) and Roscommon town (20km north), making it a handy stop for commuters and Shannon explorers. Most arrive via the M6 to Athlone, then north on the N61. The name comes from "An Droim," meaning "the ridge," as the town sits on elevated ground offering grand views across the lake's island-dotted waters.
