About Leitrim Village
Leitrim Village is a small, scenic riverside settlement in County Leitrim, situated on the Shannon and close to Carrick-on-Shannon, with a distinctly rural and community-minded character.

Local education is centred on primary provision in and around the village, while secondary schools and a wider range of services are available in nearby Carrick-on-Shannon and Drumshanbo. Day-to-day shopping is modest but practical, with Carrick-on-Shannon providing larger supermarkets, retail services, cafés and restaurants. The village has local pubs and places to eat, particularly around the harbour and main street, while the surrounding countryside offers plentiful opportunities for walking, fishing, cycling and boating.

James Gralton Park and the village’s waterways are notable local landmarks, while community, sporting and boating activities contribute strongly to the area’s identity.
