LOUGH GUR, Co. Limerick
Loch Gair
Lough Gur is better known today than the ancient parish of Aney or Knockainy in which it is located. The beautiful enchanted lake runs into four townlands, Grange, Knockfennel, Ballynagallagh and Lough Gur. It lies 21kms southeast of Limerick City. The lake is now crescent shaped but this is mainly due to drainage work, which was carried out during the middle of the nineteenth century. This drainage reduced the level of the water by about three metres. Lough Gur is widely known for its beauty, natural flora and fauna, unduluating hills, beautiful walks, historical sites, folklore, peace and tranquility.
DIRECTIONSFollow R512 south out of Limerick City. Pass through Ballyneety and follow road for further 4 miles. Turn left at Reardon's Pub in Holycross.
