Lough Corrib, on the shores of which
Currarevagh House stands, is the largest lake in the Republic
of Ireland, covering some 200 square kilometres. With 365 islands,
it is a crystal clear limestone Lough and one of the most scenic
and unspoiled in Europe.
Many a day can be spent either exploring its beauty in one
of our own clinker built boats, or visiting the island of Inchagoil
with its 5th and 12th century ruins.
Lough Corrib stretches from deep in the mountains of Connemara
right to Galway city, where the first canal in Ireland was cut
in the 12th century. Known as the Friar’s Canal, it allows
boats to travel from Lough Corrib to the sea at Galway Bay.
Other attractions include the village of Cong, best known as
the location for the 1951 movie “The Quiet Man”.
We can organise cruises on the Lough, or else why not use one
of our boats to gently explore its majesty on your own, perhaps
with a fishing rod and bottle of wine chilling as you drift.
