Cabins in Lough Neagh guide

Overview

Covering 392 square kilometres, Lough Neagh is the largest freshwater lake in Britain and Ireland and the perfect place for a tranquil escape, with quiet bays, islands, wildlife habitats, and unspoilt scenery. Make the most of a visit with boating or a cruise on the lake. Ram Island has the remains of an ancient monastic settlement and round tower, while Oxford Island Nature Reserve has wildflower meadows, woodland, and bird hides for viewing wintering wildfowl. Around the shore, there’s the 128-mile Loughshore Trail for walking or cycling plus more opportunities for nature watching. You will hear plenty of history and legends along the way—even the lake itself was said to be created by the giant Fionn mac Cumhaill.

When to go

Spring and summer are the best months for wildflower and wildlife viewing, while winter can provide opportunities for observing wintering visiting birds. Summer will bring the warmest temperatures and longest daylight hours for boating and cycling. Biting midges can be a nuisance around the lake in summer months. Bank holidays, the week around 12 July, and times of local festivals and events are busy. Winter temperatures are cooler and many attractions and activities close from around the end of October until Easter.

Know before you go

  • Always bring warm layers and a waterproof outer layer on outings as weather can change at short notice.
  • Check weather forecasts before taking part in watersports and wear personal buoyancy.
  • The Loughshore Trail has some sections on main roads and through towns with traffic.
  • Don’t leave valuables unattended in campsites or vehicles.
