Lough Arrow Touring Caravan Park

Ask Cath and John for their top tips on Co Mayo, Roscommon and north-west Ireland activities and attractions: you'll find plenty to do whatever flavour of holiday you fancy. As any angler worth their bait will know, Ireland overall is a splendid fishing spot, with the likes of salmon and trout to be landed up and down the country. Lough Arrow is famed for its brown trout fishing – specimens of around 7lb are regularly landed here – and you can also cast off in nearby rivers or a 10-minute drive away in Lough Key. Boat hire is available less than five minutes' drive from the site. For hikes, head to Lough Key Forest & Activity Park (20 minutes), wander the shores of Lough Gill (40 minutes), or roam the beaches at Lissadell Strand, Aughris Head and Mullaghmore, 45 to 55 minutes from the site. The Miners Way and Historical Trail, with standing stones and megalithic tombs enroute including the famed Carowkeel passage tombs, is accessible nearby. Another excellent option for a day out is the Co Leitrim town of Carrick-on-Shannon (20 minutes), for shops, restaurants and boat trips on the River Shannon.
