Lough Key Forest Park

          

Lough Key is one of the most beautiful lakes in Ireland. Situated about 2 miles east of Boyle, it was once part of the Rockingham Estate, granted to Sir John King at the beginning of the 17th century. The forest park, comprising about 350 hectares of woodland, the lake, beautiful walks and many points of architectural and archaeological interest, is one of the most extensive in Ireland.
