It’s Ireland’s least populated county making it the perfect hideaway for those looking to escape the bustle and host a quiet country wedding and yet there’s plenty to keep guests occupied. There’s cruising and fishing on the River Shannon, endless historical sites, bustling towns like Carrick-on-Shannon, the Gunpowder gin distillery, eco retreats, Glencar Waterfall and towering gothic piles such as Parkes Castle and Lough Rynn, the latter famously playing host to the nuptials of BOD and Amy Huberman.
