Lovely place right on Lough Derg (The Red Lake). The last lake on the River Shannon - the longest river in the British Isles is absolutely beatyiful. The drop in water height between this lake and the tidal part of the Shannon River at Limerick City allowed the Irish Government to build a very unique Hydro Station at Partney. It is well worth a visit (tour) of the generating station (daily) as it was unusual for its day. The Lakeside Hotel is well regarded as a wedding venue and there is a fine pool, gym and waterside facilities at the hotel.
