County Leitrim may have the shortest length of coastline of any Irish county that touches the sea, but it still earns its right to be part of the Wild Atlantic Way. The county is recognized by its magnificent contrast between the hilly and mountainous landscape to the north of the country and the relatively flat south-east, a divide maintained by Lough Allen, which separates them.
Although Leitrim has just 1.6 miles of coastline at Tullaghan, it lays claims to miles of the banks of Irelandâs longest river, the River Shannon, as well as other fabulous lakes and waterfalls that have inspired Irish literary genius.
