3About Lanesborough
Lanesborough straddles the Shannon in County Longford, right in the heart of Ireland where the midlands meet the western counties. The N63 runs straight through town, connecting Roscommon 15 kilometers west and Athlone 20 kilometers southeast, making it handy for commuters from both directions. From Dublin it's about 90 minutes via the M4 and M6, exiting at Junction 12 near Athlone. The massive cooling tower from the old ESB power station dominates the skyline and can be spotted for miles across the flat bogland.
