巴纳赫是奥法利郡西部边缘的一个城镇,位于香农河畔。在爱尔兰语中,它是Beannchar na Sionna,意为“香农河上的尖石之地”——这条河很浅,因此可以涉水而过,洪水也不那么频繁,但这阻碍了航运。19世纪,随着大运河将都柏林与全国各地连接起来,以及通过船闸系统绕过浅滩,这个古老的渡口定居点发展壮大。巴纳赫曾是一个重要的内陆港口,但随着铁路的出现,它和水道都衰落了。20世纪末,水道经过翻修,供休闲船只使用,这也是游客到访的主要原因。
巴纳赫在2022年拥有1900人口,是众多定居点中最大的一个。其中包括香农港、克洛汗、费尔班和香农布里奇,所有这些都在本页描述。
克隆马诺伊斯是香农布里奇以北必看的修道院建筑群,但这个广阔的遗址将另行描述。

看
[]- Shannon Harbour is where the Grand Canal meets the Shannon, with scenic old bridges, wharves and locks.
- Clononey Castle is a sturdy tower house built in the 1490s. Henry VIII awarded it to Thomas Boleyn, and in return got to marry his daughter Anne - it was this that led to Henry's break with the Roman Catholic church. Two ladies of the Boleyn family are buried here. The castle is open summer weekends noon-5PM, donation.
- Shannonbridge: the main sight is the bridge, built in 1757. It's narrow, with one-way traffic signal-controlled. On the west bank in County Roscommon is the Napoleonic-era Fort, just in case Boney tried to invade by riverboat. A little further west is the Romanian Orthodox Monastery of the Life-Giving Spring, in cabins that look like Butlins; you can attend services.
- Clonfert Cathedral. 12th-century church on the site of a monastery founded in 563 AD, reputedly by St Brendan the Navigator. (Or as the Ulster Annals would have you believe: "and on this day Cluain Ferta Brénainn was founded at the order of an angel.") It's still in occasional use as a Church of Ireland (Anglican) church. The interior is richly, indeed wackily, decorated.

- 克隆弗特圣母罗马天主教堂,位于大教堂以南一英里处,拥有一尊14世纪的木制圣母子雕像。教堂旁有一座16世纪的塔楼。
- Meelick on the west (Galway) bank has the oldest active RC church in Ireland. It was built in 1414 as part of a Franciscan abbey. Burke Castle just north remains only as an earthwork. On the Offaly bank, Victoria Locks lift boats 2.4 m past the river shallows. A Martello tower stands guard on a river island.
- Gallen Abbey in Ferbane is the crumbling remnant of a 12th-century Augustinian priory. It's now within the grounds of a nursing home.
- Coole Castle is a tower house built in 1575 which in no way resembles the fine mansion of that name in Enniskillen.
- Lemanaghan is the northern terminus of the Offaly Way, see below. The remains of the medieval monastery are free to stroll, 24 hours.
- Clonmacnoise is the area's star attraction, a medieval monastery complex. See separate page, but that village is short of accommodation and you're more likely to stay in the Banagher area.
活动
[]
- 在香农河和运河上划船:您可以租船进行长途旅行或一日游。香农布里奇是主要的基地,运营商和代理商包括爱尔兰游轮、银线游轮和Locaboat。租船可行驶的距离有限,因此请将格雷格纳马纳留待下次旅行。
- 高尔夫:伯尔高尔夫俱乐部是最近的,位于巴纳赫以南的R439公路上。
- 克隆马诺伊斯和西奥法利铁路于2008年报废。这是一条3英尺(914毫米)轨距的铁路,用于运输泥炭,轨道呈扇形分布在沼泽地,汇集到香农布里奇发电站。后来它演变为一项旅游项目,将泥炭燃烧描绘成神秘的凯尔特文化的一部分。作为一种家庭燃料或许可以,但工业规模的泥炭燃烧污染严重,而且这种不可再生资源的开采破坏了沼泽生态系统。目前没有计划恢复这条铁路。
