The historic county of Fermanagh occupies the far southwest of Northern Ireland. Its identity is closely tied to Upper and Lower Lough Erne, a landscape of hills, forests and wetlands, and the town of Enniskillen, situated between the two great lakes.
Fermanagh no longer corresponds to a single contemporary local authority: its historic territory is now mainly incorporated into the Fermanagh and Omagh district. It is therefore preferable not to use a current population figure as though it described the historic county exactly.
Upper and Lower Lough Erne shape most of the landscape. Islands, wooded shores, marinas and waterways give the county an identity very different from the rest of Northern Ireland. Enniskillen is the best base from which to explore this lake region.
In the southwest, Cuilcagh and the limestone landscapes along the border with County Cavan provide ideal terrain for hiking and for observing peatland and karst scenery.
Fermanagh retains a dispersed historical heritage: castles, estates, religious remains and the islands of Lough Erne. Devenish Island is among the region’s key monastic heritage landmarks.
Two or three days allow you to combine Enniskillen, Lough Erne and Cuilcagh. A car is recommended for rural areas, while water-based activities offer another way to discover the county.
