Kinlough

The beautiful village of Kinlough is situated on the north shore of Lough Melvin and is popular for its excellent salmon and trout fishing. Lough Melvin has several small islands to explore, one of which has the ruins of Rossclogher Castle. On the mainland near by is the ruined Rossclogher Abbey where a captain in the Spanish Armada named De Cuellar is reputed to have taken refuge, after being shipwrecked on the Sligo coast.
