러프 데그‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 호수

Garrykennedy Castle was built in the late 15th century on the banks of Lough Derg by the O'Kennedy and the O'Brien clans. The tower house was badly damaged by cromwellian troops in the mid 17th century. Some stones from the rubble of the castle may have been used in the building of a new harbour in 1857. This is a gorgeous harbour with a modern marina to the east. There may not be much left of the castle but it is still a beautiful place to stop and relax, maybe even take a picnic.

But unfortunately there is nothing to see

There is obviously a pair of white-tailed eagles with a nest

The shoreline of Lough Derg, Ireland's third largest lake, is some of the most beautiful scenery in County Clare and provides a spectacular backdrop for a walk. The area is rich in history and culture and offers breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding hills.

Great ‘hide’ with good info about the sea eagles.

Beautiful lake and surrounding countryside. Killaloe is a also a great little town to visit.

Well worth a detour, Garrykennedy is one of the most picturesque villages on Lough Derg. Several bench and table areas for breaks.

Local scenic spot, with a green picnic area (including barbecues). Also a small pier, with life-guards in the summer. Popular spot for swimming and kayaking. There used to be a small shop/toilets/showers, but these are usually closed and not in good condition. Serves as the starting point for the Moylussa hike, and the mid point of many runs from Kilalloe-Ballina.
