    Situated on the Killary Fjord to the north of the Maumturks and with views towards shapely Mweelrea, Leenaun is wonderfully situated for hiking adventures. The name of the village derives from the Irish An Lionán, which means 'ravine' – a reference to the way the fjord cuts through the mountainous landscape. There are a few places to eat and drink, as well as several accommodation options.
