Almost surrounded by the Blue Stack Mountains, tranquil Lough Eske ('Lake of the Fish') is a scenic spot perfect for walking, cycling or fishing. It's a popular angling centre – the season runs from May to September – and there's a purpose-built angling centre on the shore where you can buy permits and hire boats.
