Lough Tay

Lough Tay

Lough Tay is a small but scenic lake set in the Wicklow Mountains in County Wicklow, Ireland. It lies between the mountains of Djouce and Luggala, and is most easily viewed from above, from the R759 or the Wicklow Way as it descends past the J. B. Malone memorial. It is fed by the Cloghoge River, which then drains into Lough Dan to the south. [OSI map Discovery Serious 56]

The northern coastline forms part of an estate belonging to the Guinness family; it is edged with a beach of startlingly white sand, imported by the landowners.
