WALKING
Not to be missed “Dooroy Nature Trail” can be enjoyed by our guests, this
looped trail takes you through the woodlands and out to a point at the
lakeshore with truly spectacular views and absolute tranquillity. This can
be either a romantic stroll or kid’s big adventure.
Locally there is an abundance of walking trails, the stunning “Sean Bothar”
(Gaelic for the Old Road) is a 10 Km walk from Clonbur to Cornamona and can
be accessed nearby, the entire route overlooks Lough Corrib. For the more
energetic Hill climbing is a must at “Mount Gable”, a worthwhile climb to
panoramic views of both the lakes & mountains.
CYCLING
Bicycles are available for hire at Dooroy Lodge. Adults & Children.
TOURING
This is an ideal base for touring the delights of Cong, Connemara &
Connemara National Park, Leenane and Killary Fjord, Kylemore Abbey &

FAMOUS FOR FISHING
Fishing on Lough Corrib & Lough Mask.
With Lough Corrib quite literally on your doorstep, we cannot make life
easlier for fishermen. Our Boathouse & Pier at Dooroy Lodge are available to
guests, with lake boats available for hire.
The fishing in the area is second to none in the world. The season extends
from February to end of September (the dapping season from mid May to mid
June), using mayfly and from mid July to mid September. We are delighted to
offer guidance and local ghillies (fishing guides) can be arranged. A salmon
licence may be purchased in the local villages.
Connemara National Park
Connemara National Park covers some 2,957 hectares of scenic mountains,
expanses of bogs, heaths, grasslands and woodlands. Some of the Park's
mountains are part of the famous Twelve Bens. Entry to the park is free and
there is a newly constructed playground for children. There is a very nice
visitor centre with refreshments available. There are some majestic walks to
suit all levels. There is a path which leads all the way to the top of the
‘Diamond’.
Kylemore Abbey and Victorian Walled Gardens
Kylemore Abbey is the oldest of the Irish Benedictine Abbeys. The Community
of nuns, who have resided here since 1920, have a long history stretching
back almost three hundred and forty years. The Visitor Centre welcomes
visitors on a daily basis. There is a twelve-minute video which is available
