About The Lough
The Lough is a low-key suburb around the small lake known as Cork Lough, popular for nature walks and angling. It also borders the River Lee, where the 17th-century Elizabeth Fort offers views over the city, and nearby St. Fin Barre's Cathedral rises in 3 striking neo-Gothic spires. The Lavit Gallery promotes the work of new Irish artists, and local students bring a youthful buzz to bars and eclectic eateries.
