County Fermanagh and the lakes – Poster of Ireland

Despite having no coastline, Fermanagh is dominated by water, thanks to its lakes and waterways. They are a huge part of its landscape and identity. The upper Erne is a maze of tiny islands brimming with birdlife, while the lower lake is a vast expanse of open water, with holy islands, great castles and ancient sites. Finding a quiet spot along the lakeshore is never a problem and what better way to enjoy the departing rays of the summer sun than to be moored among the reeds quietly contemplating the fading light as you’re serenaded by the sound of lapping water and the distant chatter of the lake’s wildlife.
