About Knockcroghery

Knockcroghery is a tidy village on Lough Ree's western shore in County Roscommon, just 15 kilometres north of Athlone via the N61 and R362. The village sits where farmland rolls down to the Shannon's largest lake, with views across to Longford. Most visitors come up from Athlone for the day, making it handy for exploring the Shannon region. The R362 runs right through the village and connects north to Lanesborough. The main street runs straight down to a small harbour where boats tie up along the lakeshore.
