Explored the historic Abbey with no-one else around. Quite eerie and real sense of history as we wandered in and out of the ruins. Really good panels throughout clearly describing the form and function along with the history over hundreds of years. Seeing the town of Dromahair in the distance we decided to walk down the hill and follow the pathe running beside the river into the village. A complete step back in time and a really pleasant experience, absolutely loved this place.

Absolutely put this on your plan if you choose to visit Leitrim. Anne was our guide and she and all her colleagues we met were welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. We had a lovely tour, then a couple of drinks in the honey badger bar onsite. You get the 1st free with admission to the tour. You can see the €3M spent and the quality in how they put the experience together and the staff they hired are genuinely a pleasure to meet. Drumshambo itself is a picturesque small town and a lovely bike ride down the blueway from Leitrim village, another must see gem. So whether you’re hopping over from Carrick-on-Shannon or coming from one of these connected villages, take the tour in the Shed Distillery and enjoy a gin, a whisky or a vodka!

We were down from Donegal and were delighted to find this place. The owner has painstakingly restored some beautiful machines from yesteryear and has gathered a treasure trove of items that took me right back in time. The tour guide was so polite and informative too, it was well worth a visit !

Took a trip up here while visiting Glencar Waterfall and Glenade Lough. Was well worth a trip and walk about. Stunning scenery. It reminded me a bit of the Grand Canyon but covered in green. I'd recommend and perhaps walking up to the Eagle's Rock as close as possible.

Grand place to visit great lake veiws and interesting place to visit. Posters show refunishment of castle and history. No entry to in doors while covid issues exist. The courtyard is available and on the day we were there toilets were available. They were clean and tidy as was the area surrounding.

The drive through the valley is worth the eye candy with the extraordinary mountains surrounding you, then to arrive at the car park lined with welcoming sheep and a magnificent lake. You feel like you are in a dream. A very short walk and some steps you see the breathtaking waterfall.

Like the Taj Mahal is a testament to a man's love for his wife, this smallest church in Ireland was erected in 1879 by Edward Costello as a memorial and burial vault for his wife Mary.

Beautiful small theatre with excellent range of shows from plays to poetry to music. Lovely arts shop attached plus gallery and bar at half time. Have never been during the day so unsure if snacks available then but a great evening experience.
