Questions people ask
How many things are there to do in County Leitrim?
The map records 396 places worth visiting inside the county boundary, spread over 35 towns and villages. That is how many the map holds, which is not how many there are: anything nobody has mapped is missing.
What counts as being in the county?
The County Leitrim boundary encloses it, taken from the OpenStreetMap administrative boundaries. That is a different question from which town is nearest, and this page answers only the first. 602 places near a County Leitrim town sit across a boundary and are not listed here.
Are these in any particular order?
Places with photographs appear first. Within each group, places are ordered by their nearest town and then by distance from its centre. This is not a popularity ranking.
Is there an admission charge?
This page does not say, because it does not know. The map records a fee on about one place in a hundred, which is far too few to build a list on. Each place links to whoever runs it.
Places, names and kinds are OpenStreetMap records. Which county encloses a place, which town it is nearest, and every distance here are this site’s own calculations from those records. Where a place carries a checked note, it names who said so and the day somebody read it.
