Guinness Lake

Elevated in the Wicklow Mountains, Lough Tay, famously referred to as the Guinness Lake, presents awe-inspiring views of the secluded Luggala Estate and Wicklow Mountains National Park. This picturesque lake served as a notable filming location for the TV series "Vikings" and stands within a privately owned estate once belonging to a member of the Guinness family.
