Doo Lough Famine Memorial

Highlight • Monument

A stark reminder of the dark history of these lands. During the Famine Years, almost 400 starving adults and children walked 10 miles from Louisburgh to Doo Lough, seeking food or a ticket to the workhouse. Many have died - but not on the walk to Doo Lough, but on the way back, as they were refused food or food, and needed to get back. It was then that they met with terrible weather, and many perished, from the combination of the bad weather, fatigue and exhaustion.
