Across Land And Water

Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands is just the place to get off the beaten track, slow right down and enjoy a gentler pace. All along the 179km of Lough Derg shoreline, there’s a blend of land and water trails, secret spots and historical buildings. Take a bike ride along forest trails or get out onto the water on a cruiser or boat. And, if you want to step it up a gear, get kitted out by one of the local providers for all sorts of water activity.
