Lough Oughter, County Cavan

Lough Oughter

Lough Oughter is a lake, or complex of lakes, in County Cavan seven and a half miles long and covering approximately 22,070 acres. It is on the River Erne, and forms the southern part of the Lough Erne complex.

The lakes are bounded roughly by Belturbet in the north; Cavan Town to the east; Crossdoney to the south and Killeshandra to the west. The Lough Oughter area as a whole is considered the best inland example of a flooded drumlin landscape in Ireland. (Read more)
