Pack the car up and visit one of these top picnic spots this summer.

Dunmoran strand is a long stretch of beach which is ideal for swimming, walking and setting up a picnic.

Enniscrone beach stretches for 5km so there’s plenty of room to set up a picnic and for the kids to run about. If you’re lucky, the ice-cream van will have set up there for the day.

Union wood is an old woodland site with 2 looped walks, the Union Rock Trail and the Oakwood trail which have numerous spots to enjoy a picnic. Enjoy views of Knocknarea, the Ox mountain range and the beautiful landscape of Sligo and Leitrim.

Take a scenic walk around the shores of picturesque Lough Talt and find a spot by the shore.

There is a picnic area before you start the climb at Carrowkeel or have lunch with a view and set up in-between the cairns at the top.
