    Lough Erne, County Fermanagh

    Water wonderland


    How can a county without a coastline be best known as a water wonderland? Here’s the secret – County Fermanagh doesn’t need the ocean. It is filled to the brim with an abundance of sparkling lakes, gentle rivers and weaving waterways. And once you take to these waters, you will discover that the many islands of the Fermanagh Lakelands have their own stories to tell: think historic rock carvings, majestic estates and mysterious island sculptures.

    Fermanagh Lakelands

    L-R: Overlooking Lough Erne; lakeside dining; statues on White Island; taking it easy, Fermanagh style 

    Mysterious islands


    You are never short of places to explore in the lakelands – Fermanagh has a grand total of 154 islands. Many of these can be found in Lough Erne, and as you explore them, you will find that each is as striking as the last. Discover White Island, famous for its curious stone figures that are believed to be almost 2,000 years old. Or pay a visit to Boa Island’s Janus figure that was carved by the Celts. Look closely at this mysterious figure and you’ll see the statue has two faces, one male and one female...
