Spent a day here while travelling round NI. Absolutely exhilerating! Having been in Scouting, I've been to many a Water Sports venue but this is by far my favourite. Fantastic instructors, fantastic activities and fantastic facilities! Bring a swimsuit, towel and shoes you're happy to get...MoreHi Ruth Thank you for sharing your wonderful review.

Just back from a fab weekend camping at Crom Castle. Stayed in the campsite which is simple but perfect. Good sized pitches, clean toilets and shower block, sheltered location and best of all a communal campfire. Beautiful estate for exploring, climbing trees, cycling, walking and watching the boats. Highly recommend hiring the open boats to explore the Lough. Safe for kids at night to ride bikes and do their own thing. We had dry weather so might be slightly different in the wet. We'll be back next year. Friendly campers and staff.

Open Tuesday - Saturday 9.00am - 5.30pm. Closed bank holidays. Free admission to museum. Fermanagh’s Railways may have closed in 1957, however visitors can now take a remarkable journey into the past and enjoy the amazing history associated with the bygone age of steam. Combine your visit with a unique opportunity to have your hair professionally styled.

This is a real barber shop with a museum attached. The museum isn't large but stuffed to the gills with railway memorabilia which evoke the feel of the steam railway age in Northern Ireland. The barbers-cum-museum-staff are very knowledgeable about that era and very happy to chat to visitors at any time when they aren't busy cutting hair.
The exhibits are laid out in an interesting and informative way and the showcases are full of little gems. A video shows the last steam train to leave Enniskillen and provides useful background. Anybody who doesn't yet feel steeped in nostalgia going through these rooms will certainly get caught up in it when they ascend to the model railway on the top floor - lovingly created not from industrial kits but by hand. When we visited a gentleman worked on it who was only too happy to talk Railways to us until we felt that we should move on to give him a chance to actually get anything done.
Incredibly, a visit to this museum is free of charge.
Not to be missed.

This is the remains of a small castle located in what is now a graveyard. It is off the beaten track a bit but nice to see and read the history. It has a lot of history and is worth it to see if you are passing through Enniskillen. Stop by and explore it! I have added decent pictures as well.

A medieval castle surrounded by beautiful Gardens.
Reviewed By John M - Enniskillen, United Kingdom
The story behind how this house was built and the effort it took is incredible. It is beautifully put together and is still a magnificent sight to behold. There are regular tours and lectures at weekends and it's well worth a visit. The grounds are magnificent too.

This historic site houses two museums, Fermanagh County Museum and The Inniskillings Museum and Fermanagh Visitor Information Centre. Opening Hours Monday to Friday (all year round): 9.30am* - 5.00pm Saturdays (all year round): 11.00am - 5.00pm Sundays (Jun to Sept): 11.00am - 5.00pm Bank Holidays - 9:30am* - 5:00pm Closure period - Enniskillen Castle will be closed over the Christmas & New Year holiday period. *9.30am opening for new visitor centre and 10:00am for other buildings Admission

You can easily spend a couple of hours in this castle. It's not huge, but its different sections have been arranged to host various items, from the first world war to the local rural life.I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Enniskillen Castle. There's a microcosm of Irish history here from prehistory to Gaelic to Plantation, military and rural heritage.
