The Romantic Labby Walk

Located on the grounds of Cromleach Lodge, this is a wonderfully romantic 20-30 min. stroll through the woods. Passing the Labby Rock (where you can sit and listen to the silence) and a Fairy Ring Fort along the way, and emerging to a spectacular panorama over Lough Arrow, the Bricklieve Mountains and a far as Queen Maeve's Grave on Knocknarea.
Here a seat intended for walkers to take in the magnificient view has now become known as  the love seat where very important questions have been asked!!

The Labby Rock is a unique Portal Dolmen, with a 70 tonne capstone, built during the Neolithic Period (about 4,000-2,500 BC). In Irish Mythology it is associated with the burial place of Nuada of the Silver Arm, a King of the Tuatha de Danann who was killed by Balor of the Evil Eye, leader of the Fomorians, during the battle of Moytura.

Local folklore says it's name is from the Gaelic word for bed - the bed of Diarmaid & Grainne, where this romantic couple spent a night while on the run from the Fianna, giving this bed magical powers of fertility to any couple spending a night under it's massive capstone.

The Labby Rock the second largest Dolmen (Cromleach) in Ireland and is quite unique in that it is located in a deep valley, capped with vegetation including heather - it is referred to as the "Clown of the Cromleachs".

This very romantic walk is an experience not to be missed.

" We were looking for wedding venues and found Cromleach Lodge.

We visited and stayed there a couple of times before the wedding. Every time we visited we met the owners Christy and Moira who are very much hands on owners giving it the personal touch.

Every meal we have had has been wonderfully prepared and presented with great panache. They had no problem catering for 120 people with restaurant quality service.

We got married there in aug09 and cannot fault anything about the day, we are planning on celebrating our anniversary there.&
The setting is absolutely breathtaking and it is very serene and peaceful.

The hot tub and spa is very modern restful, and calming. It is a lovely retreat and we highly recommend avisit. "
