Leitrim Way
PLEASE NOTE: A footbridge has been installed over the Yellow River south of Ballinagleragh which means the Leitrim Way no longer descends to the R207 regional road to cross the river. It now continues along the line of the old road.

Ornat from Dublin
Hard to find up-to-date details on the Letirim way, but from what I heard the part between Dowra and Manorhamilton is closed, so the maps and distance here are up to date as of July 2020 but it would only need a day, not two days, and I would probably classify this one as an easy grade because of the 18km of paths and roads and not too many steep hills. Lots of steps in and out of fields on the farmland section.
NOTE FROM SPORT IRELAND OUTDOORS: The northern section of this trail between Manorhamilton and Dowra is open since Summer 2021.
