National Trust - Castle Coole, Co. Fermanagh

Fermanagh is the most western county in Northern Ireland. It is mainly a rural place with a central hub called Enniskillen where the Lower and Upper Lough Ernes meet. There is much to see and do here. Below are a few of the places I have been to and seen. There is of course much more than this list. More information on Fermanagh can be found on the Discover Northern Ireland home page.

Castle Coole

Castle Coole is situated just outside Enniskillen town centre, off the main Enniskillen to Belfast A4. It is a National Trust owned 18th Century building. There are many walks around the building as well as guided tours of the inside of the building. As I have only ever been on the outside of the building I'm not sure what the tour is like. However there is plenty to do for free around the grounds. The National Trust have layed out some walks for you to take around the grounds, taking in the granduer of the building, and the layout of the many different features outside the main Castle itself.
