Beautiful walk through the glen to see the waterfall. Good footpath up to waterfall, lots of steps to get up close. There’s a large car park and very clean rest rooms. Also a new cafe with a great outdoor play area for kids.

At the time of visiting the courtyard was being renovated so that section was closed as was the tea rooms. But the good side was that entrance was free. It is a most beautiful castle overlooking Lough Gill.

Remember what it was like riding your bicycle as a child? Fit and flying, wind in your hair and the open road ahead of you. Recapture this feeling by hiring an electric bike from Seamus and Eileen...the boost feature helps recapture the ease of cycling...MoreThanks Sinead, so glad you enjoyed the cycle and yes that is a great analogy to what it feels like on an electric bike. Who wouldn't want to feel 10 again for a few hours at least.

We were thrilled to finally visit the abbey where our relative was the Bishop. We actually found his tombstone even though it was greatly deteriorated. Very disappointed to hear that the Abbey (Friary) is now maintained by the Public works office.....what a shame. This could be a wonderful site to visit if the town would make the grounds more appealing.
5. Gings Bar

Had a couple of drinks here again recently and the location and views are fantastic. The bar itself is quite nice and has a pool table up the back. There's an outside balcony as a smoking area with a TV out there also and then there's the garden/picnic area out the back and down the stairs. This is a truly a great place to sit and watch the river and boats go by. On a good day, this is an amazing place to sit out and watch the beating heart that is Carrick. A really nice pub in a great location.

Spent two wonderful relaxing hours paddling in Leitrim with Lee this week. He was incredibly patient with myself and my husband and had us paddling away in just a few minutes. Would highly recommend this activity, it gives a fresh perspective on how beautiful Leitrim is and how peaceful the river banks are! A really enjoyable way to spend a few hours and such amazing value! Will be going again very soon :)
7. Lough Allen Adventure Centre

Ok bad weather I cant blame on anyone. We went to Lough Allen on a Stag do, the team challenges are ridiculous, an old bucket and burst football followed by archery, the arrows kept breaking. Actually lovely staff and we had a laugh but the place is seriously run down, I wouldn't drink from the kitchen. Canoeing was ok I guess it was bad timing with hangovers and rain. But the actual challenge was to row to a pole, spinn three times and row back, we were shocked at how bad this was, could do that in my back garden. Anyway we did have a laugh so maybe I'm being harsh with two dots but compared to what the website says dont be fooled!

We visited this Centre this weekend and found it to be the best Aura Centre we have been to in Ireland...streets ahead of the one in Limerick...showers are fantastic,kids pool was proper heated...plenty of lifeguards,proper family dressing rooms with adequate Seating and fantastic lockers keys that are comfortable to wear not like the ones in Limerick...overall cannot fault the Centre and have decided to revisit the town as the town is beautiful itself but this just compliments the place and gives another reason to revisit ...keep up the good standards.
9. Corracloona Megalithic Tomb

Reviewed By Anthony W - Strangford
The picture is of Creevykeel court-tomb at Drumcliffe, county Sligo. Corracloona is of interest to the megalithomaniac because it is one of the few tombs in Ireland which not only retains its entrance- (or door-)stone, but has one pierced with a 'kennel-hole' for delivering offerings to (or listening to the voices of) the dead. Most of the containing cairn survives, with its revetment, and the site is also unique in offering a clear view of a section of The Black Pig's Dyke, a trans-Ulster earthwork dating from an early century of the Christian era.

On our way to Gleniff Horseshoe Drive, we saw signs for Eagle's Rock. While doing research for our trip I had read about it, but didn't really realize that it was so close to where we would be. From the main road just follow the signs. There's a small car park at the base of a gated gravel road that leads to the trails that go to the site. Just open the gate and head up and over. We walked for about 15 or 20 minutes before we turned around and headed back. As we were walking back, the owner of the land came by on an ATV, stopped, and chatted a bit. He made sure we knew that it was okay to walk on his land as far as we wanted. Super-nice guy.
Had we planned on this being a scheduled stop on our trip, we would have worked in enough time to walk all the way to the site itself. Be that as it may, it's still impressive...even from a distance.
