  Priding itself on its beautiful vistas, laid-back atmosphere, fascinating history, ancient monuments and a strong sense of culture and community, the Lakelands leaves you free to explore at will. Meandering around the waterways, you can’t fail to be enchanted by the charming villages dotted along vast stretches of water; mysterious islands rising out of quiet loughs; stunningly beautiful and utterly unspoiled landscapes that seem to exist in a haze of tranquility, and lively towns that are buzzing with excellent places to eat, drink, visit and stay. The Lakelands region incorporates parts of the following counties: Fermanagh, Tyrone, Cavan, Monaghan, Leitrim South, Roscommon, Laois West, Westmeath, Longford, Offaly.

The waterways

Get to know the varied waterways of Ireland around the majestic Erne Lakes and the Shannon River. Enjoy the unspoiled beauty of the pretty villages that lie between and the busy towns that allow you experience the real Ireland.

Traditional Culture
