Lough Erne - Local Excursions

Other holiday resorts in the area of Lough Erne are Ballinamallard, on the river of the same name (5mi/8km northeast); the village of Bellanaleck, in the heart of the lake district (5mi/8km south of Enniskillen); Kesh, beautifully situated on Lower Lough Erne, with possible excursions to Boa Island and White Island; Lisbellaw on Upper Lough Erne, with wool spinning and weaving mills; and Lisnaskea, also on Upper Lough Erne, with its ruined Balfour Castle; and the little village of Belleek, famous for its long tradition of porcelain manufacture.

Ferries depart from Castle Archdale marina to White Island during summer months. The main attraction on the island is a ruined 12th C. church with a fine Romanesque doorway. The archaic stone figures in the wall pre-date the church itself.
