Loughrea – “The town of the grey lake” sits
pleasantly on the shores of the largest limestone lake,
after Lough Corrib, in County Galway. The clear waters
provide some of the best trout angling available to both
native and visitor alike. There is a public park and the
small islands here are the remains of crannógs. The greatest
jewel in Loughrea is the Cathedral, where one can see Irish
craftsmanship and art at its highest level - it is a
treasure house of arts and crafts of celtic revival.
Architecturally notable are the stained-glass windows by An
Tur Gloaine and the banners to designs by J. B. Yeats.
