Stop 4 Black Dog & the Lake

At Stop 4, our walk continues to the picnic area by Lough na-weela (the lake of the Seagulls). Please only approach the lake on the wooden platform, as the lake edges are very unstable. This landlocked lake takes its dark brooding appearance from the peat-layered bottom. Make sure to read about Sherlock Holmes's Black Dog on the back of the information point! This mythical creature gave its name to the townland where you have been walking through - Tawny-waddy-duff or the 'mountain field of the black dog'. The walk continues along the gravel road where you will come to a T junction. Keep left to follow the green arrows..
