Flora

Lough Carra sits at the northern edge of the great limestone sheet that covers much of Counties Clare, Galway and Mayo. The lime-rich soil around Moore Hall produces a great diversity of wildflowers including many orchid species and other rarities such as spring gentian and yellow bird’s nest. 

Insects

This is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) for the Lesser Horseshoe bat, which is under threat and, therefore, should not be disturbed. 
 

Lough Carra, one of the great lakes in the west of Ireland, is drained into nearby Lough Mask by means of a small river, known as the Keel River. The network of forest roads provides a very pleasant walk (Moore Hall Walk), the focal point of which is the ruins of Moore Hall.
