County Roscommon, Ireland
An Culláin is situated on a deer farm in beautiful rugged countryside of County Roscommon. Here you can mingle with the local people while out walking or in the local pub. The area is rich in history with numerous ring forts and historical monuments.
In the village of Loughglynn just 2 miles from 'An Culláin' there is Loughglynn lake. The lake was constructed in the early 19th century and is of ornithological interest and especially important to wildfowl in dry periods of winter.
Loughglynn Castle, the remains of a Normal Castle, can be seen on the south side of the lake. One tower still stands.
Loughglynn holds a music and dance festival during the first week-end of August. For those who love dancing this is not to be missed.
Outside Ballaghaderreen you have Lough Gara. Crannoga, or lake dwellings, were constructed here during the Stone Age and Bronze Age and these date from 500 BC to 1000 BC.
On each Friday the local town of Ballaghaderreen has a street market with lots of street traders and bargains to be had.
The River Shannon flows through Roscommon so lots to do for anyone interested in water sports or cruising. Every small town in Roscommon has a golf course with green fees at a very reasonable price.
Roscommon is excellent for shopping, with one of the largest shopping centres in the country in Athlone. We also have fine restaurants, pubs and night clubs.
Come and visit us in Roscommon and you will not be disappointed.
