We went to Lough Eske castle to visit a castle, however it turned out to be a hotel, but a very nice one. Unfortunately, this left me a bit disappointed since we were looking to visit another castle. Fortunately, there were other stuff we could do here in the area. The biggest point of interest here is the lake itself, Lough Eske. We were going around the lake and we managed to find a spot where we could park and we can get up close to the lake itself. It seems to be nice fishing spot as there was some area for us to walk around and appreciate the lake.

I really liked this place as we get go to these kinds of places and not be too far from where we live. It is great that the weather here still wasn’t that cold. We spent sometime just taking photos and trying to skip stones and failing miserably. I am glad that this spot was available, as if it was made specifically for travelers like us, who do not have money to spend to stay in one of the fancy hotels here. One could presumably walk around the lake but I think it might be a little dangerous since there weren’t a lot of walking trails here, you’d probably be walking on the side of the road.
