Discover Lakelands

In this extensive region, from Belleek in the far west of Fermanagh down to Limerick where the Shannon meets the sea, there is a growing awareness of somewhere very special. Here a real sense of community shared by the many towns and villages, reflecting the gentle pace of the waterways, and the people who are drawn to them.

Lough Allen & Lough Key are the two major lakes in the northernmost part of the River Shannon.
