“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
--Leo Buscaglia

Welcome to "Carers Central", as Manorhamilton has been for us in 2007.

The town is home to our area's only hospital, largest library, two (two!) petrol stations, a beautiful new play park, and several excellent shops and restaurants, including the Granary, which has kindly hosted our monthly Coffee Mornings.

The Bee Park Centre hosts the weekly Farmer's Market, the monthly Car Boot Sale, and supports many groups in the area by providing space, as it did for our AGM in 2006.

Besides being centrally located and easy to access by bus and Rural Lift for many residents of north Leitrim and west Cavan, Manorhamilton is also the most populous town.

Here you'll find:

  • Social Welfare Offices, who can advise you on benefits
  • the Post Office, where you can choose to receive your Carer's Allowance in addition to all other postal services
  • AIB, Ulster Bank, and the Bank of Ireland
  • Arus Breifne Care Home, which offers respite care to the elderly, ill, and disabled.
  • Our Lady's Hospital, providing health care clinics, physiotherapy, maternity services,and other health services
  • St. Clare's Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Ireland, the Methodist Church.
  • St. Clare's National School & St. Clare's Comprehensive School

  • Check back soon for a history of Manorhamilton, plus more photos and more links--if you'd like this page updated faster, send an e-mail to let us know: feedback really works!
