Enniskillen, Fermanagh’s largest town, sits at the heart of the county, straddling the River Erne as it winds northwards from Upper Lough Erne to Lower Lough Erne.
The town centre is dominated by the walls and battlements of Enniskillen Castle, built in the 1400s by Hugh Maguire, also known as “Hugh the Hospitable”. His nickname fits the ambience of the place and its easy-going, welcoming people. Enniskillen is the best place to start exploring everything that County Fermanagh has to offer, and there’s no more enjoyable way to do that than by taking to the water itself. County Fermanagh is filled with marinas and it’s easy to hire everything from small boats, barges, and kayaks, to canoes and paddleboards across the county. Another travel option is by bike, with bike hire and trails abound. The trail around the grounds of Ely Forest Estate is well worth a spin.
