View of Ballynahinch Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

Viewpoint at Ballynahinch Lake (Loch Bhaile na hInse). From the R341, you look out over the mirror-smooth water of the lake, where the wooded islands and the contours of the stately Ballynahinch Castle seamlessly merge into the majestic backdrop of the Twelve Bens. The imposing peaks of Benlettery and Bengower dominate the horizon here and often reflect beautifully in the deep blue water.

Connemara Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Taking in the route of an old railway line which closed in 1935 it is hoped that eventually the full 76km from Galway City to Clifden will be open. Traffic free and perfect for families. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Bike hire is available at Ballynahinch Castle Estate.
