Creevelea Friary

Reviewed By wam272 - Hong Kong, China

Explored the historic Abbey with no-one else around. Quite eerie and real sense of history as we wandered in and out of the ruins. Really good panels throughout clearly describing the form and function along with the history over hundreds of years. Seeing the town of Dromahair in the distance we decided to walk down the hill and follow the pathe running beside the river into the village. A complete step back in time and a really pleasant experience, absolutely loved this place.

We had an amazing morning with Adrienne! One of our favourite activities from our holiday. The canoeing was great fun and very soothing and Adrienne was an excellent guide who told us a lot about local nature, folklore and history. I couldn’t really fault anything about it. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and it was one of the nicest, most chilled out days we had. I’d highly recommend.

Glenview Folk Museum

Reviewed By bernieg181

We were down from Donegal and were delighted to find this place. The owner has painstakingly restored some beautiful machines from yesteryear and has gathered a treasure trove of items that took me right back in time. The tour guide was so polite and informative too, it was well worth a visit !

Glencar Waterfall

Reviewed By 106virginiar - Fort Myers, United States

The drive through the valley is worth the eye candy with the extraordinary mountains surrounding you, then to arrive at the car park lined with welcoming sheep and a magnificent lake. You feel like you are in a dream. A very short walk and some steps you see the breathtaking waterfall.

Manorhamilton Castle

Reviewed By MoniqueCarroll - Manorhamilton, Ireland

Today we visited this quaint castle with a rich full history. Five euros per adult, children are free. Our tour guide as always in Ireland was excellent, full of details, tongue in cheek humour and just all round splendid. It was freezing so we were glad to go into the warm and welcoming coffee shop where we had the best fruit scone with jam and clotted cream I have ever tasted. Service was unreal!!!!!! Well worth the visit if you make it up this far.
