We are taking a few days off for a family break and plan to visit Sligo and Leitrim - can anyone recommend scenic areas or areas of archeologic interest in Leitrim - what should we not miss?
Yes, it is excellent and for the record it is in Co. Roscommon .
North Leitrim is prettiest I think. The road from Sligo town out to Glencar, past Ben Bulben and Drumcliff for example. Glencar is lovely, and immortalised by Yeats (and is in fact in Leitrim, not Sligo I understand).
Archaelogical sites are found at Carrowmore Megalithic Site in Co. Sligo.
