Explore Leitrim
Ireland's quietest county. Loudly recommended.
Leitrim doesn't shout. It has Ireland's shortest coastline, none of its tour-bus queues, and an unfair share of its water — loughs, canals and the young Shannon threading between drumlin hills. From the estate gate you can walk to a 750-year-old battlefield, cycle to a gin distillery, or paddle to lunch. Here's how.
At the estate gate
The Shannon Blueway
Walk, cycle or paddle the canal-side trail from our gate to Drumshanbo's floating boardwalk.
15 minutes on foot
Leitrim Village & Battlebridge
A pint in the snug at MJ O'Connor's, riverside tables at Beirnes, and 750 years of history at the bridge.
10 minutes by car
Carrick-on-Shannon
The river-cruising capital of Ireland — boat trips, restaurants, go-karting and wet-day back-up.
20 minutes by car
Lough Key & Beyond
Forest park, tree canopy walk, the Boda Borg challenge maze — and the Arigna mines in the hills.
