Knockferry Pier

Knockferry lies on the west shore at the narrowest point of Lough Corrib, the strait that links the lake's two basins: the smaller, shallower lower lake to the south and the larger, deeper upper lake to the north. Kilbeg Pier faces it directly across the water, and people on both shores long hoped that a bridge would be built here. Fáilte Ireland lists Knockferry among the public quays and slipways of the upper Corrib. Come through the narrows slowly and keep to the marks, because the lake hides many rocks just under the surface. Inland, by road, Brigit's Garden at Rosscahill has eleven acres of Celtic-themed gardens and woodland with a café, open from Wednesday to Sunday.
