Town of Enniskillen

Town of EnniskillenThis county town is on an island which was a highway connecting Ulster and Connaught. The origins of Enniskillen are very ancient harking back to pre-historic tomes. When the Maguires were the tribal heads of Fermanagh their centre of power was in Enniskillen Castle. Modern times, with its loop roads and bridges make the tourist forget that Enniskillen, replete with shopping malls and a fairly big lakeside theatre, is actually an island. It is the entry point to a world of lakes and marshes with the very best of fishing arrangements.
