Leitrim has special atmosphere that comes from the presence of the Shannon-Erne Waterway, which weaves through the county and give it its unique appeal.

With lively waterside towns like Carrick-on-Shannon, the cruising capital of Ireland, to the lovely fishing village of Dromod on Loughs Bofin and Boderg, this pretty county in the  North West is filled with things to do, whether you want to chill out at a riverside pub, explore historic sights, or try your luck with some of the best angling in Ireland.
