Ye Olde Swimmin' Hole

Within three hundred metres of the Coole Country Cottages is the rich salmon and trout fishing Colligan River. Permits are available at Coole Country Cottages. A 4 minute walk brings you via a secluded path to the river. A one mile walk on forest paths through the neighboring forest leads to Colligan Falls and the rapids and deep river pools of Salmon Leap.

Popular for splashing around - and for taking wedding photos - is the small sandy beach below the Wooden Bridge. On a warm summer day, a more relaxing spot is not to be found - anywhere!

Clonea Beach

A ten minute drive brings you to what is universally acclaimed as the finest beach for 50 miles in either direction. Clonea Beach is wide, more than a mile long, slopes gently and high tide washes the whole place crystal clean. It is a popular place, so there are hamburger stands and kayak rentals and suchlike diversions for the kids. But, by popular we mean several dozens of families on a hot summer weekend - not thousands!
