Lough Fadda (The Long Lake): Situated directly on the south side of the Great Western Greenway, this narrow lake forms a distinctive natural border on the stage between Newport and Mulranny. "Lough Fadda" (Irish for Loch Fada) stretches for almost a kilometer parallel to the cycle path and is a typical example of a peat lake, characterized by its deep, dark water and surrounding marsh vegetation. From this point, you have a spectacular contrasting view: on one side, the serene shores of the lake, and on the other, the rugged, open vistas across the inlets of Clew Bay.
