Grand Canal at Tullamore

Highlight • River

The Grand Canal reached Tullamore in 1798, linking Dublin to the River Shannon and helping the town grow as an important inland trading harbour for goods such as grain, peat, and timber.

Boland's Lock (Lock 26) is a historic early 19th-century canal lock with a restored keeper’s house, on the Grand Canal just outside Tullamore. Famous for its distinctive bow-fronted “Round House” design, the lock was long maintained by Nan Boland.
