Lough Ennell
Lough Ennell ((アイルランド語:Loch Ainninn)) is a lake near the town of Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. It is situated beside the N52 road, off the Mullingar/Kilbeggan road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Discover Ireland )〕 It is approximately long by wide, with an area of about . It has a huge area of shallow water with nearly two-thirds of its area being less than 25 feet (8 m) and almost half of it being under deep. Lough Ennell produced Ireland's largest ever lake brown trout at 26 lbs (11.8 kg).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Shannon Regional Fisheries Board )〕 Lough Ennell is dotted with islands, many of which have now become attached to the shoreline as the levels of the lake have changed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Ask About Ireland ) 〕 The main river flowing into Lough Ennell is the River Brosna, which enters on the Mullingar side of the lake and exits on the opposite side at Lilliput. Lilliput and Lilliput House were frequently used by Jonathan Swift as a holiday home and place to write, local tradition states that Jonathan Swift was in a boat on the lake when he looked back at Lilliput and noticed how small the people looked at that distance, hence the inspiration for his most famous book ''Gulliver's Travels''. Lilliput at the time was called "Nure" however after the publication of Gulliver's Travels locals began to refer to the lakeshore as Lilliput, the name stuck and today the area is known as Lilliput.
==Etymology==
O'Donovan's Ordnance Survey Letters trace the beginnings of the name Lough Ennell, or as it is known in Irish ''Loch Ainninn''. According to tradition the present day Lough Ennell and Lough Owel derive their names from two brothers, Ainninn and Vair who lived at the lakes. They were sons of the Kings of the Fir Bolg, and it was at their respective lakes that Ainninn and Uair died giving the lakes their names. Over the years the name became anglicised to ''Lough Inill''. In maps the name became ''Lough Ennell, Lough Enyn'' or ''Lough Enyll''. When the Rochforts took the title as Lords of Belvedere they tried to change the name Lough Ennell to ''Lake Belvedere''.〔
