Welcome to Lough Doire Bhile, a captivating establishment, park, point of interest, and tourist attraction nestled in the picturesque countryside of Derryvella, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. Our institution is centered around the magnificent Derryvella Lake, also known as Loch Doire Mheile, which has become a renowned angling center. Recently, we have upgraded our facilities to provide easier access to this stunning 17-acre site through gravel pathways that meander around the lake, over streams, and through the enchanting wetlands. These pathways also lead to the ancient monastic site of Derryvelle, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the rich history of the area. As you explore our ecological loop walk, you will be surrounded by sparse vegetation that allows wildflowers to flourish, creating a vibrant tapestry of colors. This abundance of natural beauty also attracts a variety of butterflies, including the Dingy Skipper, Brimstone, Orange-tip, Green Hairstreak, Speckled Wood, Wall, and Small Heath. While enthusiasts search for the elusive Marsh Fritillary, sightings of this rare species have yet to be recorded. Keep an eye out for the Green Tiger Beetle, a fascinating creature with its brilliant green color and distinctive yellow spots. Be careful not to startle it, as it can swiftly take flight.
