Lakeshore Loops - Exploring Irelands Lakes
John Dunne’s wonderful guide Lakeshore Loops, is the perfect companion to those seeking solitude cycling by the Shannon, a weekend walk in Westmeath, or a day trip diving into the deep water of Lough Derg. Dunne’s easy-to-read narrative educates and informs users about the lakes of Ireland, and promotes a healthy and fun approach to holidaying at home!
Ireland’s coastline, waterways and historical monuments have been widely documented in previous publications, but Ireland’s lakes have never been given their due attention, as either historical sites or tourist attractions. Lakeshore Loops by John Dunne is the first guide to these natural jewels and offers the reader the opportunity to tour them by bicycle, like the author did, by car, by boat, or by foot. Full of anecdotes and local lore, the author includes the many nearby points of interest, the origins of some of the more unusual place-names and the legends of lake monsters and banshees. There are maps of each lake with the points of interest and nearby attractions clearly marked. In Lakeshore Loops, nature and culture go hand in hand with the green hills and glistening waters of the Irish countryside. So arise and go now! And for only €14.99, with no hidden baggage charges, you won’t get a cheaper or better holiday than that!

This well-researched book is essentially a travel guide but a very interesting one, especially for its wealth of history and folklore.

His curiosity and desire for self-preservation increasingly have driven him to off-road explorations. His first book, Towpath Tours, followed the canals and inland waterways and since then he has done extensive research on Ireland’s lakes, recognizing their huge natural beauty, indigenous wildlife and the numerous places of interest that neighbour or overlook them.
