    Guinness Lake

    Your adventure begins at Lough Tay, one of Ireland’s most photographed spots, also known as the Guinness Lake because of its dark peaty waters and creamy white sand beach resembling a pint of Guinness. Learn about the Guinness family estate, the celebrities who have stayed here, and the scenes from iconic productions filmed in this valley — from Vikings to Irish Wish. Enjoy a short walk and panoramic views of the lake surrounded by heather-covered mountains and stone walls. Perfect for photography and quiet reflection.
