County Fermanagh - Towns

Enniskillen is an island town who’s origins date back to prehistory when it was in essence the main highway between Ulster and Connaught. Enniskillen Castle was the medieval seat of the Maguires, chieftains of Fermanagh. A name still frequently found in these parts. Today modernisation has meant that the loop roads and improved bridges of the traffic engineers, have effectively negated any sense of being on an island. However, as a good shopping centre, with first-rate angling facilities, a lively cultural scene (including a large lakeside theatre) and friendly people, Enniskillen makes a convenient base for exploring base for exploring this lovely watery part of the province.

Five miles south of Belleek, Garrison has a fine situation at the eastern end of Lough Melvin; it is an angling centre for this lake, most of which is on the County Donegal side of the border. The lake has a good run of spring salmon and it holds three genetically distinct sub species of wild trout (sonaghan, gillaroo and ferox), as well as big brown trout and char, another salmonid, all with very distinct appearances and feeding habits. From Garrison, which has an outdoor pursuits centre with dormitory accommodation and sports facility hire - just by the small beach - it is 13 miles (21 km) south west of the border village Belcoo, between Upper and Lower Lough Macnean. There are good views of these lakes and the surrounding hills on the way.

Irvinestown is enlivened in summer by a 10-day carnival. A clock tower with pinnacled battlements is all that is left of the 1734 church of Dr Patrick Delany, then rector at Irvinestown, later dean of Down.
