Drumkeeran · Co. Leitrim

A small village on the slopes of Iron Mountain, a gateway to Lough Allen and the Leitrim Way walking route—coal mining heritage in the uplands.

Drumkeeran sits on the way up Sliabh an Iarainn (Iron Mountain), surrounded by walking routes and the landscape that once fed coal mines. The Leitrim Way passes through, connecting walkers to a wider network across the northwest. Lough Allen spreads out below, and the view includes the mining history that shaped this area.

The village is genuinely small—don't expect restaurants, hotels, or busy streets. Come for the walking, the mountain access, the quiet. Scarcity here is honest.
