with the up to date outdoor sporting facilities to provide the ideal base for an activity holiday On a clear night you can pick the stars out of the sky Spoil yourself with a swim in Lenan Beach a walk on the cliffs at Dunaff Head or a visit to the waterfall at Glenevin picturedwhere the river tumbles 30 feet over a pitch black rock into a foaming pool The Gap of Mamore five miles north of
