In the past we have done the tour near the near the shores of Lough Corrib on bicycles but this time we used a friend’s boat. There are also boats for hire at several locations around the lough, and boatmen are also available. We headed out for a cruise into the Lough and had great views of the many islands and the multiformed Connemara Mountains. The lake (lough” in Irish/Gaelic) is famous for its salmon fishing and wild brown trout, with the added avantage that angling is free on Lough Corrib, which is 33 miles long from Maum Bridge to near Galway City, making it the second largest lake in Ireland with over 365 islands. After tea in the majestic Ashford Castle we later visited the adjacent Lough Carra and Lough Mask in county Mayo – stunning in fine weather and a most enjoyable area to visit.

If you go to Killarney a cruise on lough Leanne is a must. The captain is very knowledgeable and is eager to share his stories. Spotting the eagles is a bonus

This place is a real hidden gem in the countryside of county Clare. The owner gave us a business card with the above information and said he just took the business over from his ageing parents. It is a fifteen acre fishing lake with boats available for hire and everything..... I promised the chap that I would write a review for him but his business doesnt seem to be on this......

Doughmore Bay is a place hard to find elsewhere in Ireland. Kilometers of sand, each day different and loved by pet holders and their dogs, surfers, beach walkers and sometimes even golfers. A plate gives evidence of a tragedy which happened 1941, when a British Sunderland flying boat had to make a forced landing on the sea You will meet sea gulls, gannets and, if you are lucky, two Border Collies who go for a stroll every morning. When you want to walk the whole bay look for low tide.

Lough Gill is a shallow lake with alkaline waters located on the western outskirts of Castlegregory in County Kerry.Ireland’s only toad, the natterjack, can be found at Lough Gill. The very shallow waters suit the toad and Lough Gill is recognised as one of the most important areas for natterjacks in Ireland supporting about two thirds of Ireland’s breeding toads.

Spent half a day with a leisurely drive around the lough with our first stop at Isle of Innisfree with a great view across the lough and plenty of walks. Highly recommended

We hired a boat in Banagher for four people, we enjoyed the whole experience. The only thing I did not like was the mattress on the double bed. oh my god a cushion would be better it was like sleeping on the hard floor. A tip.... if your hiring a boat from banagher and you want to dock in portumna for the night make sure you watch the time of the bridge lift or like us you will miss it. you get wise after a few days. Enjoy
