We did this walk yesterday, as a guided tour from the Marbel Arch caves visitor center. The tour was called, 'Unlocking the Hidden Worlds of the Cladagh Glen guided walk' It was brilliant, our tour Guide Ian, talked us through the foliage and Fauna, the geology of the area, the fallen caves and how Neolithic man could have made mistakes with their thinking, the tour was fascinating. We ended up at a waterfall, which was amazing, great photos, great day out for family and well worth the few bob. Had we not come across this tour online, we would have missed out on all added information to the walk. Our experience was very much enhanced by booking this tour.

Garden of Celtic Saints Taking advantage of the lovely settled weather over the Christmas break I headed off to our neighbouring County of Fermanagh to find some wonderful places to visit and spend some time. I had read about The Sculpture Garden of Celtic Saints only a short drive away in Irvinestown Co. Fermanagh. This wonderful Sculpture Garden can be found just to the right of Sacred Heart Church, Lisnarick Road in the Parish of Devenish and is well sign posted with plenty of parking space at the Church. The Devenish Figures are a unique collection of wooden sculptures carved out of Irish oak. The figures of saints and scholars which include Saints Patrick, Brigid, Columbanus, Gall, Molaise, Columcille and Killian, are the work of Lithuanian sculptor Jonas Raiskas. Jonas, a native of Lithuania came to work in Irvinestown in 2007. He worked from 2007 until 2011 carving the beautiful figures for the garden. This is a truly special place. The workmanship on each of the wooden sculptures is outstanding with the story of each individual Irish Saint depicted in detailed carved images on these over life size figures. The Sculptures are protected from the elements in purpose built round shelters which in themselves are very attractive. Individual Sculptures of Irish Saints accompanied by written information are displayed in each House, on their lives and ministry here in Ireland and on their journeys throughout Europe, establishing monastery's and places of learning across the world. Lighting and carefully selected music are triggered by the presence of a visitor in each house to enhance the atmosphere and enjoyment of the sculpture trail. This wonderful, peaceful place is open all year round and is Free of charge. Donations for the upkeep of the Garden are welcomed. Do go and visit if you get the chance.

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.

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.

This walk is set in the picturesque Cuilcagh Mountain, just a short journey (10 miles) from Enniskillen town in County Fermanagh. The Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail meanders through one of the largest expanses of blanket bog in Northern Ireland, traversing over tracks, boardwalk and staircase. You will explore and experience a different world along this walk, its scenic, enchanting and ever-changing landscape will captivate you. Your final ascent is via a steep section of steps, these are not for the faint of heart! As you steadily climb you meander and weave your way through a rugged boulder landscape to eventually reach the viewing platform positioned on the plateau offering breath-taking views over the surrounding landscape. Preparation: The weather and cloud conditions on Cuilcagh Mountain are ever changing and can change very quickly. You need to be well equipped for this walk wearing comfortable walking shoes, waterproof clothing, snack and don’t forget the camera!

Delighted to tick off another thing on my Bucket List: walking the Stairway to Heaven! The views along the Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail are just beautiful, with purple heather, a few dozen sheep, as well as a little lake. The Cuilcagh Mountain Park has a huge blanket bog that’s bounded by limestone grassland to the north and montane habitats to the south. So how long did it take us? Well from the carpark to the top of the stairway and back, it was a total of 11km and only took us 3 hours with a few small breaks. You may have read elsewhere of people claiming it takes four or five hours, but don’t believe that! If like me, you’re relatively fit and keep a steady pace, you’ll manage it in three hours or less (and I have bandy knees!). The full hike will include three different terrain: a dusty stone path over the hills, the wooden boardwalk and then the steps. Take your time, take in the views and enjoy it all! What should you wear? I do recommend you wear good footwear with cushioned socks, runners or hiking shoes are best, and workout gear/loungwear – leggings and a top will do the trick. Definitely bring water and some energy-boosting snacks, and even a sambo if you take a well-deserved break by the big rocks. And please take home your litter! Be aware there are no spots for bathroom breaks…and nowhere to hide from others to do it in the open!
