Lough Fossea and Lough Alone

Highlight • Lake

The beautifully rugged loughs Fossea and Alone are up here just below the summit of Knockasliggaun at 417 meters (1,368 feet). It's an odd place - with the windfarms peppering the area down below, yet here so wild. Welcome to the beautiful Ox Mountains!

View of the Moy Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful views from this road of the Moy Valley and also of the Ox Mountains. It's worth making a stop here for some sustenance - the road is quiet, so you won't get much traffic if resting on its side.

Roosky Lough

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The quiet roads near Roosky Lough offer tranquility and green and blue views of the lough. It's more farmland and agricultural here, but nonetheless peaceful. Enjoy.
