A Day at The Nest
Some might say simply relaxing in the Nest is a great way to spend the day! However if you would like to do something local, here is a suggested itinerary…..
1. Breakfast At The Thatch
Start your day by having breakfast at the Thatch Bar & Restaurant situated in Balllycommon, a 10 minute drive from The Nest. More information at: https://thethatchedcottage.ie/
2. John Hanley’s Woolen Mill Factory Shop
Then visit the beautiful factory outlet shop of the John Hanley Woolen Mills situated in Ballyartella (a five minute drive from The Thatch or The Nest). More details at: https://johnhanly.com/
3. Sauna & Dip
Then relax and refresh at Ritual Sauna & Coffee in the nearby village Dromineer, just a 10 minute drive from John Hanley’s at Ballyartella (or 5 minute drive from The Nest).
For an unforgettable experience, combine your visit with an e-Bike and sauna adventure! See here for more information.
4. Walk Some of the Lough Derg Way
If you would rather go walking then try out the Lough Derg Way . There is a lovely walk from The Lookout to Castlelough (roughly 4km) which provides great views and nice quiet roads.
5. Stop off at The Mill Pantry
The Mill Pantry is a lovely place that serves great coffee, sweet treats and savory items, all gluten free! It is based in a small place called Carrigahorrig and opens Fridays & Saturdays only. It is a about a half hour drive from Castlelough.
6. Or Lunch In The Derg Inn Terryglass
If the Mill Pantry isn’t open we can recommend having food at The Derg Inn in Terryglass, which is not much further from Castlelough.
7. Take in Some Great Lakeside Views
Then head back towards the Nest, enjoying the scenery and views, making sure to stop off at Luska pier near Kilbarron, it is a beautiful peaceful spot!
