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

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.

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.
