Enlarge picture
The ruins of Aughanure Castle stand on Lough Corrib, a lake lying 3 km/2 mi west of Oughterard, Galway. In the 11th century the castle was the stronghold of the O'Flaherty family. The tower in the foreground was once a lookout tower and formed a bastion in the walls.

Lake in counties Galway and Mayo, Republic of Ireland. It is the second-largest lake in Ireland, 43 km/27 mi long and 11 km/7 mi wide at its broadest point; area 176 sq km/68 sq mi. Lough Corrib is quite shallow, and contains about 300 islands; its outline is very irregular, and it flows via the River Corrib into Galway Bay. It is connected on its north side with Lough Mask, partly by means of an underground channel.
