Loughglynn –
or Loughglinn - is a picturesque village in County Roscommon located
midway between Castlerea and Ballaghaderreen.
Loughglynn is named after a lake that was built to the north of the
village during the 19th century as a birthday present from Viscount
Dillon to his wife. This lake is of ornithological interest and is
especially important to wildfowl in dry periods in winter.
Loughglynn is steeped in Irish history and visitors to the area can
see Loughglynn House, which dates back to the 18th century,
the ruins of the Norman Loughglynn Castle, and a memorial to the
chief organiser of the Fenian Movement in Connaught, Edward Duffy.
The natural landscape around Loughglynn is perfect for the outdoor
enthusiast with lakes, forest parks and a golf course all within
easy reach. |
