Great Lake for swimming with diving board. Usually awarded blue flag. 8 k to lake
Collinstown’s greatest amenity is the glorious blue haven of Lough Lene, which was designated Ireland’s first ever inland Blue Flag Beach in recognition of the super cleanliness of its water and the excellence of its tourist facilities, which include changing rooms, shower, toilets and ample parking. A well-maintained wooden jetty stretching out into the lake makes it an ideal swimming point, with a sandy bottom and a rope to fence it off from boats or other water vessels. On a calm day when the water looks like a vast mirror, as crystalline as any Nordic fiord, there is no finer place.

Lough Lene is a lake situated in north County Westmeath, Ireland, between the villages of Castlepollard, Collinstown and Fore. It possesses a rich and varied history. It also boasts the existence of prehistoric burial sites, old ruins, many ancient village-type communal circular dwellings locally called ringforts, stiles, and mass paths. Lough Lene also has claims to being the home to kings and Vikings, such as Turgesius who had one of his forts upon the hill on the southwest overlooking the lake from the Ranaghan side, before being killed by Máel Sechnaill mac Maíl Ruanaid.

This is very easy to get to from Delvin and it can be combined with a tour to see Fore Abbey. The water is very clean here so swimming is possible.
