Welcome to KiltyCashel!

The villages of Kiltyclogher, County Leitrim and Cashel, Co Fermanagh, just 5km apart, have joined efforts across the international border to achieve the best possible outcomes for their respective communities. This unique combination has created a working partnership known as the KiltyCashel Project, which aims to regenerate this border area and share its delights with tourists and visitors.

KiltyCashel is situated in the beautiful valley between Lough Melvin and Lough Macnean in northwest Ireland, between the mountains of Big Dog / Little Dog Mountains to the northeast and Dough and Thur Mountains to the southwest. The valley is blessed with a plentiful supply of rivers, lakes and spectacular scenery. The mountains provide solitary walking trails, with unrivalled and frequently spectacular scenery – while the lowlands provide quiet country lanes, suitable for walking, cycling or simply enjoying the tranquility of the countryside.

Using Kiltyclogher village as your holiday base, you can visit wonderful examples of our natural heritage such as the County Bridge, carved of stone, Lough Lattone fishing lake, and waterfalls in the Sraduffy River just west of the village.

Kiltyclogher was home to one of signatories to Ireland’s proclamation of a republic in 1916, Séan MacDiarmaida. You can visit his cottage which is now a local museum.

No matter what you want from your holiday, Kiltyclogher can match your dreams in a tranquil, rural setting!
