Castleconnell is a scenic village bordering the River Shannon in County Limerick. It takes its name from the Irish name for the castle built by the Gunning clan in 1000AD - Caislean Ui gConaing or Gunnings Castle.

the river has played a major role in the lives of those living here. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the gentry built grand estates bordering the majestic river, the world famous salmon fishery and eel weirs provided local employment and the healing waters of the chalybeate spa attracted visitors from Munster and further afield.
