Swellan Lough — photo spot in Swellan Lower, Cavan, Ireland
Swellan Lough
Swellan Lough is a quiet, rural lake offering mirror-like reflections, reed-lined shores and distant rolling Cavan hills — ideal for moody landscapes, minimalist compositions and birdlife shots. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and reflections; overcast days suit HDR and moody tones. Accessible by car via minor county roads; limited roadside parking at lay-bys. No entry fee; respect private farmland and local birdlife. Late autumn and winter deliver dramatic skies and low sun angles
