Open Tuesday - Saturday 9.00am - 5.30pm. Closed bank holidays. Free admission to museum. Fermanagh’s railways may have closed in 1957, however visitors can now take a remarkable journey into the past and enjoy the amazing history associated with the bygone age of steam. Combine your visit with a unique opportunity to have your hair professionally styled.

The museum has a huge amount of photos, signs, a model railway and general railway materials from the early part of the last century. It is definitely worth a visit.

My Friend and I had a fantastic time at the Boatyard Distillery Gin tour. We arrived by Erne Water Taxi (Barry) which was an extra special treat to ourselves as we were celebrating our 40th Birthdays and the tour did not disappoint. The samples were delicious and the knowledge William & Teresa had was second to none. You couldn't find a nicer Gin experience in a more stunning setting on the shores of beautiful Lough Erne. Cannot Recommend it enough!! Its a must do when you visit County Fermanagh.

Beautiful 18th-century home set on a sustainable estate and gardens.

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.

Reviewed By andyT3502HM - Enniskillen, United Kingdom

A very achievable walk to the top of a brilliant view point over County Fermanagh. There is a good path to the top, which has even stone benches along its way for those who wish to sit and relax on the way up or down. A small carpark at the bottom is very handy for easy access to the area which is well sign posted from surrounding roads.
