Carrick-on-Shannon Bridge 
Carrick-on-Shannon Bridge carries a footpath over the River Shannon - Jamestown to Battlebridge five kilometres from Willbury.
The River Shannon - Jamestown to Battlebridge was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Willhampton canal at Leeds, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Salisbury at Bridgend caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Barton instead. The 6 mile section between Ashfield and Bernigo was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wigan. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Peter Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bradford Embankment.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring).
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.
