リートリム周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The Bencroy Pass is in this quiet desolate place. Where once coal miners and machinery activity was heard, now only the wind.

There are fantastic views of Lough Rynn along this road which notably has an olympic sized rowing course.

Despite being the largest town in Leitrim county, Carrick-on-Shannon is the smallest county town in Ireland. The historic town lies on the banks of the River Shannon and has a pretty quay that was once used as a major stop-off for river trade for goods such as Guinness stout. The town has a number of cafes, restaurants and shops, as well as an interesting Neo-Gothic church. Around the June bank holiday, the streets come alive with colour and celebration during the Carrick Carnival.

The triangular-shaped Lough Allen is a beautiful lake on the River Shannon, out of which the Shannon takes it source. Measuring 9 miles (14.5 km) long and 3 miles (5 km) in width, the lake is an impressive sight. Humans have been present at the lake for thousands of years. Mesolithic traces such as more than 1,000 stone tools made from flint, chert, quartz, mudstone, and basalt were discovered at the lake. Today, the lake is a wonderful place to relax and take in the biodiversity. The water quality is excellent, although the lake's ecology is unfortunately under threat from invasive species such as curly waterweed, like many other lakes in Ireland.

As the Glenanniff River travels down from the mountains above, it has eroded the local blue limestone to form a deep river valley. Fowley’s Falls is not a single drop waterfall; instead, it cascades in a series of drops over the exposed bedrock to form a spectacular torrent of water rushing through the steep valley towards Lough Melvin.

This is quite a short run up to here but it is steep and it will get your heat pounding. it is all worth while however as the views are magnificent.

Great cycle on quiet roads. Pick a day with nice weather, as very exposed at the top.
