Keshcarrigan Canal Walk

A gentle, paved walk along the Shannon-Erne Waterway in County Leitrim, ideal for families with young children. The flat path offers scenic views of the canal, locks, and surrounding countryside, with plenty of opportunities for spotting wildlife like swans, ducks, and herons. Highlights: Picnic tables, benches, a small playground near the village, and easy access to the water's edge. Kids can watch boats navigating the locks or feed the ducks. Ages: Suitable for all ages, including toddlers in pushchairs and older kids on bikes or scooters. The walk is short (approx. 1.5 km), so it's manageable for little legs. Facilities: Free parking at the village centre, public toilets nearby, and a couple of cafes/shops in Keshcarrigan for snacks. No admission fee. Practical tips: Bring binoculars for birdwatching and sun protection on clear days. The path is not lit, so visit during daylight hours.
