Things to see and do in and around the Parish of Kiltullagh.
Kiltullagh Church … is well worth a visit. The view from the hill is beautiful.
To get to Killtullagh from Ballinlough – take the Ballyhaunis road and then take the first left outside Ballinlough – just before Carrick school.
Continue on this road for about 2 miles. You will see Kiltullagh ahead of you to your right. Take a right at the crossroads and the entrance to the field is at the bottom of the hill.
Lake O’Flynn
… is a lovely spot for fishing or just for a picnic by the water’s edge.
Brown trout is the main type of fish in the Lake. There is easy access to the lake on the southern shore with a boat harbour , pier and a car park and picnic area. The Shannon Fishery Board website has details of the fishing.
From Ballinlough the lake is signposted – take the road which lies between the Whitehouse hotel and Campbells Bar . After about a mile you will go under a railway bridge – the entrance to the lake is just after the bridge on your left.
