As a local .. would really recommend for walking .. good 3km circuit through wooded areas and down by river. Tranquil and beautiful. Gravelled does not muddy paths. Inclines so good to get the heart rate moving. Good parking ... cafe on site and pub within walking distance in Saltmills.

These two churches are more or less identical and were designed by a Gothic Revival architect friend of Pugin . They are truly magnificent and well worth a visit .

This is a special place. A lagoon lake with a strong tradition of sacred worship predating the arrival of Christianity to Ireland. You can take a lovely walk around the island and there is some wonderful bird watching to be enjoyed.
