Planning your trip to Lough Derg

What makes Lough Derg such a hugely popular destination is the sheer range of  attractions, fun, activities and relaxation, all packed into the lake area.. As Ireland has a temperate climate, you don’t need to be overly influenced by the time of year in planning and organising your visit, but should focus instead on what aspect of Ireland you want to enjoy and let this determine your timing.

For instance, there are many, many people who prefer Ireland in autumn or winter – when the fires are burning in luxury castle accommodation, when warm food tastes so much better in our ‘good food circle’ restaurants and when nature puts on some of its most spectacular shows.   You chose the timing of your visit - the welcome is always waiting and always warm!
