Tips from locals

When visiting Lough Derg, look out for the white-tailed sea eagles that nest nearby. These are one of the largest birds of prey and one of the most impressive birds in the world.

Take a boat trip and visit the monastic site at Holy Island. See a well preserved round tower and holy well. Bring a picnic and enjoy a walk around this spectacular island.
