Manorhamilton
Ireland
Manorhamilton, the main town of northern County Leitrim in northwest Ireland, sits where the River Owenbeg and the Bonet meet amid a valley landscape backed by heather moorland hills. The town itself dates to 1620, when Scottish soldier-of-fortune Sir Frederick Hamilton built a castle on lands seized from the Irish chieftain O'Rourke and laid out a settlement on the east bank of the Owenbeg, naming it after himself. It serves as the practical base for a thinly populated district stretching from Lough Allen to the Atlantic coast.
