Sightseeing
Rising three storeys tall, in an idyllic setting on the banks of Lough Gill, in County Leitrim, Ireland, Parke’s Castle (also known as Newtown Castle[1]) is a plantation era castle. In 1610 Robert Parke completed his fortified manor house on the site of an earlier fifteenth-century O'Rourke (Uí Ruairc) castle. He kept the walls of the original bawn - a spacious pentagonal defensive area - and demolished the O'Rourke tower house in the centre. The stones of O’Rourke’s tower were used to build the three-storey manor on the eastern side, eventually adorned with mullioned windows and diamond-shaped chimneys.

Parks & Nature
Slish wood is located on the southern shore of Lough Gill in a stunning location between the lake and the Ox Mountains.
The Route
This delightful lakeshore and hillside track is waymarked and easy to follow. It begins at the northern end of the car park and follows the markers along the forest trail, providing picturesque views over Lough Gill. After 1.6km, the track rises at the very first fork in the walk. Keep to the right-hand path, which will lead you back down to the car park, or veer left if you wish to continue on the Sligo Way towards Dromahair where the trail ends at the Abbey Hotel, just past Creevelea Abbey. (It takes approximately 3 hours to complete the 10km to Dromahair.)
