Where we live

County Leitrim lies in the north of Ireland. The main town is Carrick-on-Shannon. Slightly north, Leitrim village marks one end of the Shannon–Erne Waterway, which crosses the entire county. Drumshanbo, where the volunteer house is situated, is a rural town, very typical of the Irish country. The office, where the volunteers work, is in Ballinaglera. Leitrim offers a lot of opportunities for outdoors activities, recreation, entertainment and shopping. For more information visit the Leitrim tourism website.
