8mi/13km northwest of Birr, on a hill on the east bank of the Shannon, is Banagher. The gun positions constructed by English forces in the 17th C. can still be seen. At the bridge are mooring facilities for motor cruisers. Anthony Trollope worked as a post office clerk and wrote some of his early novels here.
