Sightseeing and Visiting Roscommon Castle is a roman piece first built

destroyed 11 years only after
its construction and had to be rebuilt. Other sights in Roscommon
include a Dominican priory which dates back to the 13th century.
Roscommon County Museum (call 662 6342 for information) although of no
major interest has a great location in a former Presbyterian church.
The former courthouse and jail are worth a detour and, if you like
nature walk, ask about the Suck Valley Way. |
