Accommodation drumsna

The small village of Drumsna, situated on a hill overlooking the Shannon, has many historical associations. In a small cemetery close by is the burial place of Surgeon Thomas Heazle Parke 1857-1893 who accompanied Henry Morton Stanley on his exploration expedition in the African Congo. Within a short distance stands the ivy-covered ruins of a lordly mansion of the Jones landlord family where the novelist Athony Trollope wrote his interesting novel, the McDermotts of Ballycloran.
