Where is it?

Neighbourhood

Here is some information about walks, hikes and a few local beauty spots.
Check out the Sligo Way. http://www.irishtrails.ie/trail/Sligo-Way/32/
This is a beautiful walk that starts in Dromahair. The first two legs, from Dromahair to Union Wood are fantastic. The lake on top of the Ox mountain is awesome.
A seaweed bath in Strandhill is well worth a visit. http://www.voyaseaweedbaths.com/
And the one in Enniscrone is equally as good. https://www.kilcullenseaweedbaths.net/
The costal drive to Enniscrone is beautiful, made even better by a stopover at the Beach Bar in Aughris, http://www.thebeachbarsligo.com/
O’Rourke’s table is very near the house. It is a bit of a climb, but has fantastic views.https://www.leitrimireland.com/listings/o-rourkes-table-dromahair-leitrim/
Walks nearby are, Slish wood http://www.coillte.ie/site/slish-wood/. Dooney rock http://www.sligotourism.ie/page/dooney-rock-forest-park and there is a secret walk near Parkes Castle. Driving for Drom, 200 meters before Parkes Castle, there is a turning on the right. Take this and immediately you’ll see a little, unofficial car park straight ahead. Park up here and walk around the trail. It takes 20 minutes and is beautiful.
This is a lovely walk, and finishes next to the house. https://www.leitrimireland.com/listings/clubhouse-dromahair-slncr-abbey-loop-dromahair-leitrim/
And this new hike, just a few miles from the house. https://sligowalkingtours.com/lady-anne-trail/
Glancar waterfall. http://www.discoverireland.ie/Activities-Adventure/glencar-waterfall/44568
Of course the beautiful Lake Isle of Innisfree can be reached on foot, by bike, or car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Isle_of_Innisfree
Rosses Point is just 14km away, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosses_Point
Strandhill is not much further. http://gostrandhill.com/
Streedagh Strand. http://sligowalks.ie/walks/streedagh-strand/
Sleeve League, is a bit of hike to get there but wellworth it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slieve_League Get fish and chips on Killybegs on the way back.
The Ceide Fields are well worth a visit.http://www.museumsofmayo.com/ceide-fields/ceide-fields.html
