Break for the border and enjoy the beauty of the Erne county

Clodagh Finn says there is plenty to fuss about in the lakes, mountains and islands of County Fermanagh.

A pheasant flies up out of the long grass as we bump over the potholes on the winding approach to Belle Isle Castle near Carrybridge in Fermanagh. Two donkeys - introduced later as Ollie and Cosmo - are looking expectantly over a heavy wooden gate, and birds are swirling overhead.

You’d be inclined to say you’d stumbled on a rural idyll, but a person travelling in their own country would never say such a thing in case, heaven forfend, they were accused of having an overblown sense of national pride. Yet, hyperbole aside, can anybody tell me why we don’t make more fuss of Fermanagh? It is a stunning county with wonderful places to stay, lots to do and breath-stopping scenery.
