Fairhill House is snugly located between Loughs Corrib and Mask, the village of Clonbur is endowed with nature’s richest treasures – lakes, streams, mountains and woodlands.
Clonbur in the heart of Joyce Country lies near Cong on the Galway / Mayo border. It is an ideal centre for the trout angler as it nestles easily between the two great lakes Corrib and Mask. For the more adventurous, Mount Gable lies just 2 km to the west, and is an easy climb of about one hour’s duration. The effort is worthwhile because the views of Lough Corrib, stretching away to the south, Lough Mask to the north and the Connemara mountains to the west, are simply fantastic.
Fairhill House in the middle of Lakes Corrib and Mask
Lakes Corrib and Mask have earned worldwide recognition from discerning anglers and Clonbur is centrally located for both lakes. Another place of unique beauty is Lough Coolin, a small lake set like a gem in the foothills of Mount Gable, 3 miles from Clonbur.
Take the road to Tourmakeady from the village and turn left at the sign for Lough Coolin and continue on past to the base of the mountain where a disused turf trail will lead you to the top. Alternatively, a short trip (8km) towards Cong and a turn right will bring you to the famous Pigeon Hole, where a climb down some 66 steps in a huge cleft in the limestone floor of the Ashford Castle woods, leads to a vast underwater cavern containing one of the many underground streams flowing from Lough Mask to Lough Corrib.
Fairhill House is also idealy located to the neighbouring village of Cornamona in part of the Gaeltacht or Irish-speaking region of North Connemara. This village is one of the major centres for trout and salmon angling on the northern shores of Lough Corrib. There are large pike to be caught here also as is evidenced by the large one exhibited in the local pub. Most of the larger islands on the Corrib, including Inchagoill, lie directly south-east of the Doorus Peninsula on which Cornamona is situated.
Fairhill House Clonbur Galway
Petersburg House was the ancestral home of a branch of the Lynch family of Galway. In 1986 it was developed as a leisure amenity for the people of the community and Galway County.
The decision to turn it into an outdoor education centre was an inspired one. It is ideally located for land based and water based adventure activities as it is situated on the southern shore of Lough Mask with hills and forests all around it. In the heart of Ireland’s Lake District and ensconced in the bosom of Joyce Country, Clonbur has much to offer the visitor with its breath-taking beauty, rugged features, walking trails and more.
