From the top of Dooney Rock one can view beautiful Lough Gill in its entirety!
Dooney Rock has of course, been made famous by W.B. Yeats in his poem:
'The Fiddler of Dooney'
Nearby to Dooney Rock is Tobernault Well. This is a sacred grove on a wooded hillside, a perfect blend of natural and Christian magic.
The Isle of Innisfree was made famous by W. B. Yeats and is just off the shore of Lough Gill. Yeats wrote the poem ΓÇ£The Lake Isle of InnisfreeΓÇ¥ in Bedford Park in 1890. Yeats was homesick for Ireland and began to remember the sound of the lake water at Innisfree.
This impressive manor house sits on the shores of one of Ireland's most beautiful lakes, Lough Gill. The splendour of Parkes Castle is immediately evident as you drive around the lake. Once an important stronghold of the local O'Rourke family, rulers of Breffni, Parkes Castle has been recently restored to its true 17th century style.
