Resting alongside the River Shannon, Ireland’s longest waterway dividing the west, is the charming village of Leitrim. The village claims its name after its county and lies just a stone’s throw from the border of County Roscommon. The village of Leitrim may be small, but it exudes all the charm and character of authentic Ireland that you would imagine. Home to a delightful local pub that hosts regular traditional music, a shop and attractive jetty that caters for all the cruisers along the Shannon, Leitrim provides a wonderful base to explore the Shannon region. There’s also a web of wonderful walking trails to explore, whilst just over three miles away is the buzzing town of Carrick-on-Shannon, which boasts a superb marina and a selection of boutiques, traditional pubs and gourmet eateries. Other nearby attractions include the Arigna Scenic Drive and Lough Key Forest Activity Park.
