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.

Seán MacDiarmada’s Cottage Co. Leitrim Visit the house of the 1916 Easter Rising leader Seán Mac Diarmada in Kiltyclogher, County Leitrim. This beautiful cottage is a designated National Monument owned and maintained in its original condition by the Office of Public Works. The cottage is of considerable historic importance, not only as the single existing home place of any of the seven signatories of the proclamation but as a fine example of a traditional Irish cottage, offering an insight into what life was like over 100 years ago. Seán MacDiarmada played a pivotal role in planning the Easter Rising of 1916. He was one of the seven signatories that signed the Proclamation of Irish Independence. Following his arrest after the Rising he was court martialed and executed by firing squad on 12th of May 1916 in the Stone-Breaker’s Yard in Kilmainham Gaol.

Took a trip up here while visiting Glencar Waterfall and Glenade Lough. Was well worth a trip and walk about. Stunning scenery. It reminded me a bit of the Grand Canyon but covered in green. I'd recommend and perhaps walking up to the Eagle's Rock as close as possible.

Grand place to visit great lake veiws and interesting place to visit. Posters show refunishment of castle and history. No entry to in doors while covid issues exist. The courtyard is available and on the day we were there toilets were available. They were clean and tidy as was the area surrounding.

Like the Taj Mahal is a testament to a man's love for his wife, this smallest church in Ireland was erected in 1879 by Edward Costello as a memorial and burial vault for his wife Mary.

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.
