Where to base yourself
Enniskillen or Castle Archdale and Lisnarick
Everything on this day sits on the Enniskillen to Lower Lough Erne road, so there is no backtracking across the county.
Your one-day plan
One day: Enniskillen and Castle Archdale
- Morning at Enniskillen Castle Museums in the town centre.
- Lunch in Enniskillen before heading north.
- Afternoon at Castle Archdale Country Park, about 20 minutes' drive: forest trails, bike hire and the marina.
- If the weather and timings suit, a short boat trip or day-boat hire from the marina, with seasonal access to White Island when the ferry is operating.
Confirm opening times, bike hire and any sailing directly on the day; the ferry to White Island is seasonal and depends on the operator.

Lunch in Enniskillen on the way north, or bring a picnic for the country park.
