Suggested Walks

Day 1 Glencar Escarpment via Dooneen’s Road. The incredible views over Glencar lake and valley are truly breathtaking. Its a small climb at the start but well worth it for the vista. Pick up a packed lunch at Glencar Tea Shed or pop in for lunch with a view after your walk. For more information on the walk visit; Dooneens & Hudsons Walk Leitrim

Day 2 Fowley’s Falls, Rossinver You have another treat in store  on this linear walk by the Glenaniff River. Park at The Organic Centre and start this linear walk by the Glenaniff river. It is a stunning walk any time of year, Autumn/ Winter when the waterfalls are thunderous or Spring/Summer when the wild flowers are at their best. There are a series of seven falls and then at the end, the most beautiful green meadow with picnic tables to sit and enjoy your lunch. Pop into the Organic Cente on the way back and browse their shop and café. This linear walk is 3Km each way. If you would prefer something shorter, you can park in the newly designated car/bike park near Rossinver Youth and Community Cente and have a lovely walk where you will see most of the falls.

Day 3 The Leitrim Way This exciting newly refurbished trail is being extended currently. This 36Km route will tie in with The Beara Breifne Way (700km) and the Ireland Way (1010Km) but you can do as much or as little of it as your like.
