Leitrim

County Leitrim has beautiful countryside, with mountains, lakes, rivers, pastures and extensive boglands. The stunning Glencar Waterfall, inspiration for W. B. Yeats, is particularly impressive. Although Leitrim has the shortest coastline of any Irish county, it does boast a beach of another kind - the sandy shore on the northern edge of Lough Allen is a popular spot in the hot summer months.

With one of the lowest population densities in Ireland, you can find plenty of unspoilt, rural scenery, where farmers carry on in the traditions of past centuries. There are also numerous sites of archaelogical interest, from ring forts to restored manor houses (like Parkes Castle on Lough Gill). Not for nothing is the county known as 'lovely Leitrim'.
