Where water, woodland, and gentle trails invite slow discovery.
The Fermanagh Lakelands offer one of Northern Ireland’s most peaceful walking experiences — a world of quiet loughs, forest paths, riverside routes, and upland boardwalks. Set inland in County Fermanagh, this is walking made for reflection and rhythm, shaped by nature’s softer side.
Trails here follow lake shores and climb to panoramic viewpoints, weave through native woodland, and stretch across ancient bogland. Walkers can explore historic estates, limestone caves, and wildlife-rich country parks — or simply let the stillness of the water lead the way.
Whether you’re after a scenic afternoon stroll or a multi-day self-guided walking holiday, the Fermanagh Lakelands offer calm, beauty, and a deep connection to place.
