Ghleann Eada

This is fabulous hiking territory, so bring your boots along for a few good walks at the likes of the Arroo Trail (five minutes’ drive), Glenade Lough (10 minutes) and Glencar Waterfall (20 minutes) – or perhaps along the clifftops from Mullaghmore (20 minutes). There are some gorgeous beaches to visit along this stretch of the Leitrim coast too – places like Bundoran (15 minutes), Tullan Strand (15 minutes) and Streedagh beach (25 minutes) are all worth a visit, with beach horse rides available from Island View Riding Stables (15 minutes) for those who have some prior experience with horses. For the foodies among you, how about working up an appetite with a walk along the banks of Lough Melvin, ready to fill up with a fine meal at the renowned Courthouse restaurant in Kinlough (10 minutes)?
