Welcome to Killashee.
This picturesque and historical village is situated about five miles to the west of Longford town. Killashee is in the same parish as Clondra. The Royal Canal crosses the Fallow River via the aqueduct at Gorteenboy. Killashee is a neat crossroads village built around an irregular square bounded on one side by a nice three-storey, six-bay Georgian block and on the other by low two-storey C 19 dwellings.
Clondra takes its name from the old Irish, Cluain Da Rath, which means the Meadow of Two Ringforts. It is situated on the River Camlin at the terminal of the Royal Canal. In the town is Richmond Harbour, which is forty seven locks from Spenser Lock in Dublin. The canal closed for commercial use in 1966 but there are now plans to reopen it, and this will increase the number of tourists who visit Clondra, as they will be able to travel on the canal by boat. A pretty village with a unique waterside location straddling the Royal Canal, the river Camlin and a navigation cut from the canal to the Shannon - a picture postcard of weirs, locks and water.
