Το φρούριο (1611) άντεξε δύο βαριές πολιορκίες το 1689 (κατά τους Ιακωβίτικους Πολέμους) αλλά καταστράφηκε ολοσχερώς από μια καταστροφική πυρκαγιά το 1764. Το κυκλικό μονοπάτι περνά δίπλα από τα ερείπια.

A pretty lough side jetty which is popular as sleeping place for motorhomes. It is a place of quiet natural beauty and is popular with locals coming to enjoy the lough.

This cute little harbour on Upper Lough Erne also has a little beach by the road plus toilets and showers, so a great place to stop by if you are on a longer tour. St Ninnidh's Well is just inside the wood to the east of the quay, named after one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland. The water from the well is said to cure problems with eyes.

Managed by the National Trust, the Crom Estate is a large nature reserve of woodlands, lake, castle ruins and islands. It is an important habitat for pine martens, bats, deer, red squirrels and butterflies. There is a coffee shop at the estate and if you fancy something different you can hire a boat to explore the lough.

The road passed around the edge of Doon Forest. Mostly a conifer plantation, there is also a lot of deciduous planting around the outside. The quiet road through the trees feel particularly lush in May when the leaves are at their newest and greenest.

There is a great view from the car park, but even better, park up your bike and take the short trail to the hiking viewpoint. There you can marvel at the panoramic views across County Fermanagh and County Monaghan. Take a seat in the oversized chair and enjoy. Especially lovely at sunrise and sunset.

The Crom Castle estate boathouse sits on the shore of Lough Erne below the main castle. The views out on onto the water from the boathouse are splendid, the perfect spot to pull up a picnic blanket and enjoy some relaxation.
