Cloone Parish Outline.


To the left is an outline of Cloone parish in relation to Co. Leitrim. The parish of Cloone occupies c.12,000 acres. The village lies roughly in the center of the parish which is about 8 miles north to south by 4 miles east to west. The village is situated on a low ridge just north of the main Mohill to Carrigallen road. The view northwards from the village street is impressive: From the edge of the street one looks down on two small lakes set in an expanse of brown bogland which extends about a mile to the foot of small greenhills which extend away into the blue-brown Slieve-an-Iarann and Cuilcagh mountains far to the north.
The parish is fairly populous and contains some very good farming land.
