Cootehill is set in the heart of Lakeland and is an ideal touring centre. Visitors can take a stroll through beautiful Dartry Wood and enjoy lunch at the scenic Halton’s Point picnic area.
A short drive in either direction will take you to Billy Fox Park or to Castle lake & Forest walk Bailieborough. Both make ideal playgrounds for children or adults seeking the excitement of exploration or relaxation.
The countryside around Cootehill is one of the most striking and a perfect example of Drumlin landscape, a phenomenon created by the ice cap which left behind thousands of low round hills and many lakes dotted with wooded islands. These are the features, which provide much of the picturesque scenery of the area
