🌰Based on a belief that entrepreneurs learn best from each other, the ACORNS initiative is centered around interactive round table sessions that are facilitated by female entrepreneurs, known as ‘Lead Entrepreneurs’, who have started and successfully grown businesses in rural Ireland🌳

It is a very forward-thinking program, run by a dedicated team who truly believe in female entrepreneurship. The program is very focused and supportive of the participants and is of huge benefit to those that are selected to be part of the programme

⛰️O'Rourkes Table🌄

O'Rourke's Table is a captivating piece of both Leitrim history and beauty 💚

Legend has it that local chieftain Tiernan O'Rourke once used O'Rourke's Table to look for a candle in his wife's window, a symbol of her love. Her betrayal by eloping with another man led to tragic consequences

Recently redeveloped by the local community, walkers are rewarded for a short but steep climb with amazing views of Lough Gill and the surrounding counties.

👀Keep an eye out for ‘the sleeping warrior’ a rock formation that looks like a mythical figure from folklore, snoozing on the ridges of Keelogyboy, Leean and Benbo

🧺Bring a picnic and enjoy the panoramic views & peaceful atmosphere ✨
