| Leenane is surrounded by mountains, of particular interest to geologists because of their mixture of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. Climbers can also take advantage breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the wild Atlantic Ocean.
"To climb the trackless mountain all unseen, with the wild flock that never need a fold, Alone o'er steeps and foaming falls to lean, this is not solitude; 'tis but to hold converse with natures charms and view her stones unrolled."
The more sporting person is well catered for with a dive school and two adventure centres - specialising in mountain climbing, orienteering, canoeing, sailing, diving and various other activities.
The less energetic walker can enjoy the paths on the lower foothills, strolling through a forest, or studying the flora and fauna. |
