What to see What to See
In the heart of Northern Ireland you will find Lough Neagh, the largest lake in the British Isles. Lough Neagh captivates visitors with its tranquil atmosphere, un-spoilt scenery, secluded bays and skyward views. The Lough is a haven for wildlife with many viewpoints around the shoreline. There is so much to see and do from history and heritage; visitor attractions to land and water based activities. The Maid of Antrim is now on the water for passenger boats day trips and the Lough’s two main islands can also be explored on the Trostan and Island Warrior. Why not and explore the Loughshore Trail for yourself.




Cranfield Church and Holy Well
Cranfield Church and Holy Well

Description

On the shores of Lough Neagh at Churchtown Point lie the ruins of an ancient 13th century Irish Church and St Olcan's Holy Shrine. Within a few yards east of the church is a holy well, which provides fine spring water and amber coloured pebbles. Pilgrims who visited collected seven ordinary stones to count ‘the rounds'. They recited prayers and walked barefoot seven times round the church, dropping one stone at the door each time. This was repeated seven times around the well. When all the rounds were completed the pilgrim bathed in water from the well.
