Enniskillen in County Fermanagh features a 15th-century castle, Georgian mansions and traditional pubs.

Belfast Live reports that Enniskillen, the largest town in County Fermanagh, sits at the centre of the county along waterways linking Upper and Lower Lough Erne, and serves as a base for exploring the region's Lakelands.

The town's main attraction is Enniskillen Castle, built over 600 years ago by the ruling Maguire clan. The castle now houses two museums sharing the area's heritage: the Fermanagh County Museum and the Inniskillings Museum. Both can be visited under a single entry ticket priced at £6.50 for adults and £4.50 for children. The castle itself is surrounded by water, creating a dramatic backdrop.

Beyond the castle, Enniskillen offers Georgian mansions, a 6th-century monastic site and traditional pubs serving local offerings in a cosy atmosphere.
