Description by the author

The name Belturbet, comes from the Gaelic words beal (mouth) and Tairbeart (isthmus or peninsula). Translated literally, Belturbet is the mouth of the peninsula. Turbet Island, beside Kilconny Bridge (car parking here) on Bridge Street is the mouth of the peninsula. Walkers will enjoy a quiet, natural, accessible trail along the River, from the carpark, past a Motte and Bailey, on to the Railway Bridge and back to the car park or on into town if you wish.

The first ever remnants in Europe of the prehistoric Woolly Mammoth were found on Turbet island and are housed in the Natural History Museum in Dublin.
