The Lough Oughter district is perfect for nature walks and cycling.

Killykeen Forest Park surrounds the lake and islands of Lough Oughter. Scattered throughout the park are early fortifications such as Crannogs or lake dwellings. The woodland has great diversity of trees with oak, ash, birch, beech, sycamore and alder in abundance.

Guided walking tours that are suitable for adults and accompanied children will help you spot the many birds, wild flowers, trees, and insects native to the area. Contact heatherbothwell@eircom.net or tel: +353 (0)87 669 9681 for more information.
