Interested in exploring the vibrant
past?
The "North Leitrim Natural History and Heritage Tour" offers visitors the opportunity to explore the rich and hidden heritage of this diverse area. The tour interprets the shaping forces of our region. Geology, archaeology, major historical events, flora and fauna, revolution and art, all feature on the tour.
Want to know more?
The tour is based around a series of twelve panels which are located throughout North Leitrim at sites of historical and environmental importance. Each panel has information and visual images pertaining to the site. A visitor information guide has also been produced to accompany the tour.
Tempted to take a step back in time?
The information guide presents information and images on the twelve sites with many fascinating facts on the area. Kinlough is linked to "The Spanish Armada" and a fascinating tale of adventure; nine survivors found refuge in The McClancey fortress in Kinlough, which they subsequently defended against a battalion of English soldiers. Their leader then made the hazardous journey back to Spain, where he recorded his experiences in North Leitrim. "The Annals of The Four Masters", a complete history of Ireland up to 1616, was written near Kinlough.
And for those with other areas of interest...
Nature lovers will also find much to satisfy their passion, with the proliferation of Alpine flora in the area, a relic of the last ice age. Romantics will revel in the rich mythology associated with our area.
North Leitrim is also home to a thriving artistic community with "The Sculpture Centre" located in Manorhamilton. Linked to our trail is the innovative Sculpture trail , a series of unique pieces located on the shores of Lough McNean.
The North Leitrim Glens invites you to embark on a journey of discovery.
