웨스트미스 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Lough Ennell은 웨스트미스 카운티에 있는 크지만 얕은 수역입니다. 야생 동물을 관찰하기에 좋은 장소이며 지정된 수영 장소 3곳이 있어 자연 수영을 즐기기에도 이상적인 곳입니다.

A fine view out over Lough Ennell from the eastern shore. From here you can look all the way over to "Lilliput" shoreline, which has quite the literary history. Lilliput was frequently visited by Irish writer Jonathan Swift. Local tradition states that Swift was in a boat on the lake when he looked back at Lilliput and noticed how small the people looked at that distance. Supposedly this became the inspiration for Gulliver's Travels. Lilliput at the time was called "Nure". but after the success of the book, locals began to refer to the lakeshore as Lilliput. the name stuck and today the area is known as Lilliput.

The forest tracks through Newtonlow are a beautiful all year round, but especially so in springtime. The forest floor is a carpet of bluebells, a magical place to wander for a few hours.

Lookout point at the end of Long Hill Esker Path. The walk to get here is moderate to easy so suitable for all levels of hiker. In spring the area is awash with bluebells.

Nice view of the lake

Only nice if you like hiking on asphalt...

Wonderful single-arched bridge that spans over the Royal Canal. The bridge was built in 1806 and is a fine example of the architectual heritage of Westmeath.
