Boat Trips to Ram's Island

Ram’s Island is located approximately one mile offshore from Lennymore Bay and Sandy Bay on the eastern shore of Lough Neagh.

It is nearly one mile long by a quarter of a mile wide and is the largest island on Lough Neagh. Its remote wilderness and lost in time qualities make Ram’s Island a pleasant and attractive place to visit. The island is steeped in history and heritage, featuring the ruins of the 19th Century O’Neill’s summer house and round tower. The island was last permanently inhabited in the 1920’s by the Cardwell family who were caretakers for the O’Neill’s. The island is also blessed with an impressive array of flora and fauna among the dense woodland. A weekend ferry service to the island departs from Sandy Bay Marina and can also be booked for private charter around Lough Neagh.
