Connecting Through Heritage with Leitrim County Council

We're proud to deliver our first ever podcast series which highlights much of Leitrim’s natural, built and cultural heritage from the people who know most about it. We’ll hear stories about potato planting and traditional farming methods; an overview of ecology and conservation; discussion on what sets Leitrim’s singing and fiddle music apart from other counties and take the chat right back to Leitrim’s prehistoric archaeology – all from a range of experts and local people passionate about heritage.
