Visited the mine on a recent breakaway in Carrick on Shannon. Such a worthwhile experience and would definitely recommend a visit. The staff are such lovely welcoming people and Maurice gave a fantastic tour of the mine providing lots of interesting information as well as first hand accounts of his own mining work. Amazing to see the conditions that people endured. The views from outside the experience are breathtaking but can be viewed from the fabulous coffee shop inside also. Really enjoyed ourselves!

This huge church was designed by Walter Doolin architect, and some time later the spire was added in 1916 by O'Callaghan and Webb architects of Dublin. The artistic execution of the carved detailing, mosaics, stained glass and interior decoration complement and enhance this imposing church. The exterior is far more impressive than the church of Ireland church on Henry Street. Don't just walk, the interior is well worth seeing with elaborate mosaics, leaded glass and memorials. How did the people of a small (not rich) town pay for such an impressive edifice?

This was such a lovely picturesque castle to visit, a good board with history of the castle and plenty of areas to run around for young children. Also had the added benefit of a duck pond nearby and a park for all ages to play in :)

My husband and I visited Roscommon while on holiday in Co Westmeath and Co Mayo. We were parked in the square and went in for general tourist information. We saw the exhibition and decided to have a look. The man in charge walked around with us and explained the background to each piece with both factual and anecdotal information. There were lots of little funny stories which really brought it all to life. This is really an amazing place populated with articles donated by local people. The lady and man who were there were extremely informative and clearly were personally very committed to the museum. I would highly recommend this place so please pay it a visit.
