lough key forest park

Comprising some 350 hectares of mixed woodland, a lake and a number of islands, Lough Key constitutes one of the most extensive and picturesque landscaped caravan and camping park, nature walks, a bog garden, observation tower, ice house, wishing chair and underground tunnels.
The park was formerly part of the Rockingham estate and there is a wealth of historical and archaeological points of interest, principally the ruins of a McDermott castle and two medieval priorities, one on Trinity Island and the other on Church Island.
Boating, walking trails and a restaurant are some of the amenities in this fine park which is situated on an island studded lake of great beauty. Return to Carrick on Shannon.
