Lough Erne refers to two lakes situated along
the River Erne. The river begins by flowing north, and then curves
west into the Atlantic. The southern-most lake is further up
the river and so is named Upper Lough Erne. The northern lake
is Lower Lough Erne. Lough Erne is a scenic waterway renowned
for its beautiful setting. The lakeside is high and rocky in
some parts and, in addition to the 154 islands, there are coves
and inlets to explore. The town of Enniskillen is situated between
the lakes. Location: On
the outskirts of Enniskillen. |
