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.
