Lough Neagh

Day Trips in Belfast

"The largest lake anywhere in the UK or Ireland can be found just over half an hour east of Belfast by car. The banks of the Lough are popular with walkers and cyclists, and just about any spot along the vast shore would be perfect for a quiet picnic on a warm day.The best day of the week to visit is a Sunday in the summer months, as you’ll be able to avail of the Maid of Antrim cruise. This will give you a view of the Lough’s clear waters and all of the quaint villages along the shoreline. Or if you’re up for the challenge, you can pack a lunch and paddle out in a canoe. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter some of the North’s best-loved residents, the Lough Neagh seals." - MATADOR_NETWORK
