Loughrea Town
Loughrea (Baile Locha Riach) - "The town of
the grey lake". The clear waters provide some
of the best trout angling. Available to both
native and visitor alike. There is a public
Amenity Park developed at Long Point
providing facilities for sailing, swimming, and
boating and the small islands here are the remains of crannogs.
Loughrea's ecclesiastical connections stretch back through the mists of
time and continue today. The Loughrea Cathedral is where one can see
Irish Craftsmanship and Art at its highest level - it is a treasure house of
arts and crafts of a Celtic revival. Loughrea is well served with a public
library, activity centre, temperance hall and churches. Recreation facilities
include an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts and children's playground.
Loughrea is home to accommodation, fine dining, a shopping haven and
a suitable location for a pleasurable family break.
