Visit Notes

Sunday, 27th January 2002

Being right in the middle of the lough I obviously didn't get to actually visit these crannogs but just gaze on them with wonder. There are three or four, one perfectly formed still, just sitting in the middle of the water. It's an amazing achievemant in itself that they were built.

From Bailieborough take the R165 and then the R191 north. At Canningstown (about 6km along the R191) turn right. Continue until the next crossroads and turn left. The best views of the crannogs are available from this road looking right or on the road to the right at the next crossroads.
