Visitor attractions and information - Roscommon

	Roscommon Castle was built by Robert de Ufford, Lord Justice of Ireland, in 1269. Located on a hillside just outside the town, it is quadrangular in shape, it had four corner D-shaped towers, three storeys high, and twin towers at its entrance gateway, one of which still retains its immensely sturdy vaulted roof. The entire castle was enclosed by a lofty curtain wall. Location: On the outskirts of Roscommon.
	Roscommon Abbey. Usually called the ‘Abbey’, it is more accurately described as a friary, for it was created for the Dominican friars. Roscommon Abbey is signposted off the circular road: access can also be gained from the car park in The Abbey Hotel. Location: On the outskirts of Roscommon.
	Roscommon Racecourse, Racecourse Road, Lenabane, Co Roscommon. Tel: + 353 903 2623. Roscommon racecourse is steeped in National Hunt tradition. The first ever recorded race meeting took place in 1837 and was organised by the British military which then had a base in the town. Racing proper began in 1885 and has continued ever since, with the exception of a 12 year period from 1936 to 1948. Roscommon racecourse is now recognised as a true test of a horse's ability with Cheltenham Gold. About 1 mile west of Roscommon.
