There is a wealth of wonderful heritage to discover around Lough Erne in County Fermanagh.

Lough Erne has more than 100 islands. Many of them have extraordinary stories to tell, including Boa Island, in the northern part of Lower Lough Erne. This long, narrow island is now connected to the mainland by a road bridge.
