Myself and my husband Seamus own and operate a bicycle rental and guided cycle tour business in Leitrim Village for the last 9 years. Having lived all our lives in this very rural area of Ireland we are passionate about show casing the unique beauty and tranquility of our local area to our customers in a friendly and caring manner.. My favourite travel related things to do in Leitrim is to visit cafes and restaurants serving award winning local artisan produce, to award winning fine dining experiences within our local area. We like to collaborate with these local businesses to offer the best experience of Leitrim we can provide to our customers.

We provide guided Canadian Canoe tours, bike hire and access to walking trails along the unique and picturesque Shannon Erne Blueway. Paddling along the water you’ll be treated to breathtaking views and on the way we will tell you about the local history and the heritage of the area, and we also like to point out the unique flora and fauna available in our area. I would like to talk to you about the Slow Adventure experiences provided by Way To Go Adventures and to give a brief summary of the other slow adventure providers and attractions in this region of Ireland.

I have a strong desire to contribute to the growth and development of our City and region. Particularly to share our strengths as a Tourism Destination, something which I am all the more passionate about in this Covid pandemic as I firmly believe we have an excellent tourism proposition and our size and location gives us a major edge.
