LEITRIM

A Description Of Leitrim

County Leitrim extends for over 50 miles from the County Longford border to Donegal Bay, where it has a coastline of two and a half miles. It is divided into two parts almost wholly separated from one another by an expansion of the River Shannon, Lough Allen. The area north of the lake is mountainous, reaching its highest point of just over 2,000 feet on the Sligo border,
north of Glencar Lake. East of Lough Allen is another mountainous area in which Slieveanierin (1,922 feet) is prominent. South of the lake is an area of little hills interspersed with many lakes. Leitrim is a county of fine lake and mountain scenery and of good angling waters, with many attractions for the climber, the walker and the cyclist.
