Lambs Lough

Lambs Lough covers 9 ha with 1.1 km of shore in County Monaghan, 2.0 km south of Monaghan.

Getting to the water

A public road or path on the map comes within 26 m of the shore, along about 250 m of it, and there is one more stretch like it elsewhere on the shore. That is what the map contains. It is not a statement that the public may walk there, because OpenStreetMap does not record permission, and nobody has checked this lake against its owner.

No openly licensed photograph of Lambs Lough was found. Rather than show a picture of somewhere else, this page shows none.

Where it is

The pin sits from the main access point on the shore, and every distance on this page is measured from that same point. The other pins are the nearest lakes in County Monaghan.

Parking, viewpoints and stops

Everything here is measured from the main access point on the shore. A viewpoint is a place that looks at the lake, which is not the same as a place on it.

Parking

An unnamed car park is 830 m away, and the walk from it to the shore is 970 m along mapped paths. The map records nothing about a charge.

Viewpoints

None mapped within 2.5 km.

Where this comes from

The lake itself
The outline, the name and the identifiers are OpenStreetMap records, 2 of them merged here into one lake. Correct it there Figures marked Wikidata come from Q33271355.
What this site measured
The area and the shore are worked out from that outline. The stretches of shore a way reaches, the walk in from a car park and every distance on this page are worked out here, on this site’s own graph of the OpenStreetMap ways, last built on 2026-09-20. These are this site’s calculations, not the map’s, and a mistake in them is a mistake here.
