Beara -Breifne Greenway The O'Sullivan Beara Historic Route as part of the European Greenway




Drumkeeran, Co. Leitrim

Drumkeeran village is attractive and hospitable and boasts a fine heritage centre. The area has numerous rivers and lakes for fishing. Visitors can enjoy walks in the forests or drive along mountains roads to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The village heritage centre celebrates the history and folklore of the area and one can experience past days in a beautifully reconstructed Irish cottage. The centre draws inspiration from the magnificent rugged landscape surrounding mountains, lakes and woods, which surround the village. The heritage centre also exhibits a traditional Sweat House and Agricultural machinery. On the same site the Donald Fidgeon Resource Centre tells the story of the 1798 rebellion and Drumkeerans part in it, through the use of displays and memorabilia.
