Walk Route
Brantry Lough
This a short and mostly flat walk around the lough.
The gates along the route will cause difficulties for those with mobility issues or with prams.
There are around dozen car parking spaces.
We saw no dog fouling and very little litter.
There were Little Grebes, Great Crested Grebes, swans and ducks on the lough.
This is a pleasant local walk and worth going to if you are in the area.
Beautiful jewel in south Tyrone’s crown. Perfect lakeside walk on a good path. Fishing pontoons to chill on, on a summers evening. And the place is a blaze of colour may and June time in particular….wildflower heaven.
