CountyFermanagh
County Fermanagh is a tranquil lakeland paradise, a world of shimmering waters, ancient islands, and lush waterways known as Ireland's premier destination for inland water-based activities. The county is dominated by Upper and Lower Lough Erne, a sprawling network of lakes, islands, and rivers that are perfect for cruising, fishing, kayaking, and boating. The county town, Enniskillen, is beautifully situated on an island between the two loughs and serves as a charming hub with its historic castles, excellent museums, and vibrant cafes. From here, visitors can explore the wonders of the waterways, including the unique monastic site on Devenish Island and the breathtaking Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark, a subterranean world of rivers and waterfalls.
The landscape is one of gentle hills and forest parks, offering fantastic walking and cycling trails. The town of Belleek on the western border is internationally renowned for its delicate Parian china pottery, a visitor attraction in its own right. Other towns like Lisnaskea and Irvinestown provide quiet bases for exploring the rural heartland. With its pace of life dictated by the water, County Fermanagh offers a uniquely peaceful and restorative escape, inviting visitors to slow down and immerse themselves in its serene and beautiful natural environment.
