Newtowncashel is situated on the North Eastern Shore of Lough Ree on the River Shannon. It could be described as an island parish for it has fertile farmland surrounded by bogland to the North and East. This sense of separateness is very apparent in Newtowncashel for it gives people a sense of independence and strength of spirit. Newtowncashel or ‘Cor na Dumhca’ in Irish, is an ancient name meaning the ‘Round Hill of the Cauldron.’ Two important historical sites in the Newtowncashel area are Inis Clothrann or Quakers Island where St Diarmuid founded an abbey in the year 540 AD and Saints’ Island where St Kevin founded a monastery in 544 AD. The ruins of the old parish church, St Catherine’s and the burial grounds are on the side of Cashel Hill overlooking Lough Ree. Elfeet bay offers extensive views of Lough ree. There is an extensive shoreline along Lough Ree and Barley Harbour is the only public area on the lake.
