Florence Court

Beautiful 18th-century home set on a sustainable estate and gardens. Surrounded by lush parkland and thick woodland with Benaughlin mountain rising in the background, Florence Court enjoys a majestic countryside setting in West Fermanagh. There is something for everyone to enjoy at this extensive and welcoming place. On a guided tour of the Georgian mansion you can hear stories about the Cole family and their staff, who lived here for over 250 years. Outdoors take a gentle walk or long cycle along 10 miles of trails in the adjoining forest park and see fascinating industrial heritage features, including the water-powered sawmill and blacksmith's forge. The gardens are home to the mother of all Irish yew trees, as well as the kitchen garden which is being restored to its 1930s character.

Beautiful grounds with plenty of walks and probably one of the best House tours I've had. Would definitely recommend. We are members but it's well worth the entrance fee.

Devenish Island

Reviewed By f0nc3c4 - Portadown, United Kingdom

Finally got the time to visit this island and it was worth the trip. Got the ferry from trory jetty (5mins outside Enniskillen on the A32 towards Irvinestown) ferry cost only £5 per person with regular crossings. The island has a long history as a monastery site with one of the few complete round towers left in ireland with lovely views of lower lough Erne.

Castle Caldwell

Reviewed By Globetrotter008

The ivy-covered ruins of the castle sit on small peninsula at the west end of Lower Lough Erne. The castle itself is out of bounds but there are plenty of circular walks around the peninsula. Great for the family day out out with well maintained pathways, lake views and surrounded by nature. A bit out of the way but well worth the visit.
