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.

Reviewed By hawkmatthews - Lurgan, United Kingdom

We just had to visit this place as its the most famous and oldest bar in Enniskillen. They have one of the Game of Thrones door and its also a very nice place for a few drinks and a good chat with the staff who are really good fun. They have the original snugs and a great selection of drinks to enjoy. They have a restaurant downstairs and another bar upstairs. I would definitely recommend visiting the William Blake for a few drinks and a nice place to see what a proper bar is like with all the original features.

Lovely open fire in the main bar. A cosy bar that feels like home. Lots of history behind the name. Friendly staff and customers who are always up for a laugh. Great for a quiet pint or a night out. Plenty of seating to accommodate larger groups.

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.
