About Rose of Innisfree
Scenic mid-day cruises and cultural musical evenings departing Fivemilebourne, County Leitrim
Rose of Innisfree operates from Fivemilebourne in County Leitrim and offers scheduled boat experiences on Lough Gill. The business runs the Rose of Innisfree vessel for short, guided cruises that showcase the islands and shoreline that inspired W.B. Yeats. One core offering is the Parkes Castle sailing: a mid-day, 60-minute cruise around the islands of Lough Gill with onboard commentary and bar facilities. The commentary provides historical and cultural context for the scenery visible from the water.
In addition to the sailing cruise, Rose of Innisfree presents a cultural collaboration titled “A musical evening with CAS @ Parkes Castle.” This experience combines live music and storytelling in a historic setting at Parkes Castle, linking local heritage with contemporary performance. The musical evening is presented as a distinct event offering that brings music to a castle-side audience.
Rose of Innisfree is featured on The Adventure Collective, where the two experiences are listed for visitors planning trips in County Leitrim. The business emphasizes clear, experience-focused offerings: guided on-board commentary during cruises, bar facilities for mid-day sailings, and curated musical programming at Parkes Castle. These elements help visitors understand what to expect when booking either the 60-minute Parkes Castle sailing or the scheduled musical evening. Information about dates, departure points, and booking availability is provided through public listings and the featured listing on The Adventure Collective.
“Every outing is organized with local river knowledge, basic safety instruction, and equipment checks before departure.”
