Glenfarne

The Northwest Leitrim
STOP 01 / 01
Glenfarne · Co. Leitrim

A small village in the northwest, set in upland close to Fermanagh—home to a State Forest Park and the ghost of a closed railway line.

Glenfarne Forest (State Forest Park) gives the village its character—walking trails wind through upland, and Lough MacNean sits nearby. It's the kind of place where what's left behind matters: the Sligo–Enniskillen railway closed in 1957, and the old station is a quiet ruin.

The village is small and honest about it. Come for the forest, the walks, the borderland quietness. Not much in the way of accommodation or food services—this is scarcity country, but specific scarcity.
