County Fermanagh Northern Ireland

County Fermanagh - Lough Erne and West Fermanagh

The area around Lower Lough Erne boasts a rich combination of natural and historic sights. From pre-Christian times, settlers sought the security offered by the lake's forests and inlets. Exploring Lough Erne by land or by boat is a delightful experience. In summer, ferries serve several islands and cruisers are available to hire. The limestone hills of west Fermanagh contain many interesting cave systems. Explore this delightful county at your leisure, stopping off in one of the many welcoming towns and villages.

Enniskillen, County Fermanagh

The most remarkable natural feature in County Fermanagh is the River Erne, which winds through the centre of the county. It expands into an extensive, island-studded lake split into two parts - Upper and Lower Lough Erne - by the town of Enniskillen.

This bustling regional centre boasts a great range of shops and pubs, but still manages to retain a sense of traditional charm and character. Enniskillen's location between the two lochs gives it an almost continental feel. Spectacular Enniskillen Castle was once the stronghold of the Maguire chieftains, and later became an army barracks.
