Lough Key

Lough Key Forest Park encompasses 800 hectares of woodland and parkland on the southern shore of Lough Key, near Boyle in County Roscommon, Ireland. Formerly the Rockingham Estate of the King family, it combines rich natural heritage with fascinating human history, including the ruins of a John Nash-designed mansion that burned in 1957. The park has been developed by Coillte as one of Ireland's premier forest recreation destinations, offering a unique blend of nature trails, adventure activities, and heritage features. Its location on the Shannon navigation system and proximity to picturesque islands makes it a hub for both land and water-based exploration.
