Discover the Lakelands & Inland Waterways

The Lakelands is a well-loved Irish destination, and it's easy to see why. Stunning countryside and an abundance of quayside towns like Killaloe and Ballina, make this area perfect for on-the-water breaks that include cruising, walking, cycling, horse riding and an array of other activities.

Cruise your own course through 800km of navigable waterways; and experience the magical history of high kings, fallen warriors and ancient monks that still lingers in the air and the stories of the people.

Discover any of the four route sections of the Lakelands - Lough Derg, Lough Ree and Mid Shannon, Upper Lakelands and Lough Erne - and you'll discover freedom.

Visit Ireland's Lakelands for an unforgettable cruising break.
