Lough Gill

To the east of the town of Sligo lies the scenically delightful Lough Gill, 5mi/8km long and well stocked with salmon, trout and pike. A drive round the lough, 23mi/37km, is an experience not to be missed. On a peninsula between its northwestern end and the River Garavogue stands Hazelwood House, a beautiful little Palladian mansion by Richard Cassels (1731).
