Rahasane Turlough is Europe's largest turlough covering 250 hectares when full. Due to the nature of a Turlough the water level rises and falls depending on the weather. Because of this you can enjoy the view of an ever changing landscape. During dryer spells the turlough is grazed by large herds of horses and cows and sheep which roam freely. It makes for a lovely walk and is very popular with bird watchers due to its variety of bird species including large flocks of beautiful swans. White-tailed eagles can be spotted on occasion..
