エスク湖での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Great views of Lough Eske from Ardnamona Nature Park. The Lough is a haven for birds and wildlife.

This small bridge allows you to cross the Clady River and access Ardnamona Nature Reserve. The Clady flows from nearby Banagher Lough into Lough Eske.

Ardnamona Nature Reserve is a beautiful wildlife haven next to Lough Eske. Follow the path for a delightful walk, but be careful of damaging the area, and make sure to leave nothing behind.

The Leghowney loop is beautiful and well off the beaten track. If you are looking for a place to run where you're unlikely to bump into anyone else, this could be it. It is mostly on forest trails which open out to rural views with the sea in the distance. It starts and ends in Leghowney where you can find a picnic area, toilets and a children's playground at the start of the waymarked trail.

The Leghowney loop passes through the Meenadreen Windfarm. It is a unique opportunity to pass close by to the impressive wind turbines.

If you are running the Leghowney loop, be sure to look back as you climb out of the village.

The boardwalk alongside Lough Eske makes for a fun and unique section of running.
