The County Fermanagh region
Often referred to as Northern Ireland’s Lake District, Co. Fermanagh is a perfect holiday destination for fishing, cruising & a variety of other activity holidays.
Lough Erne is one of the most uncongested lakes in Europe and is perfect for watersport enthusiasts and fishers alike. Lough Erne is home to over 350 islands with recent historical monuments still being discovered.
There is plenty of good fishing in Ireland, but few places have more to offer than Fermanagh, a true fisherman’s paradise. In addition to the excellent coarse and game fishing of the upper and lower Loughs of the Erne, Lough Melvin is justly famous for its salmon and trout fishing, which tends to overshadow the additional glories of Upper and Lower Lough MacNean, along with a host of smaller loughs and tributary rivers.
Whether you are a novice or an expert, Rossahilly House can provide private tuition with qualified ghillies and organise specialist tours across Co Fermanagh and the north-west of Ireland.
Back on dry land try your hand at horseriding. Major facilities are available throughout Co Fermanagh including Necarne Castle, located approximately five miles from Rossahilly House. For those preferring a more leisurely trek, pony-trekking is available nearby.
Keen golfers are spoilt for choice with either a testing Championship Course at Castle Hume or Slieve Russell, 18 hole parkland course at Enniskillen or links courses at Donegal Golf Club or Rosses Point, Fermanagh is in range of it all. Wherever you choose to play, you can be assured of top class facilities and a warm welcome. Why not make Rossahilly House your base for a special golfing holiday to include Royal County Down and Royal Portrush Golf Courses, both consistently rated within the world’s Top 10 golf courses.
The most exciting development in Irish golf is the new Nick Faldo Championship Golf Course under construction on the banks of Lough Erne, opposite Rossahilly House. This spectacular Lough shore course will offer golfers one of the most challenging courses and one of the most spectacular settings available in world golf.
Castle Hume Golf Centre is situated on the shores of Lough Erne. It is one of the most scenic parkland areas in Co. Fermanagh and is one of the most testing golf courses in Ireland. It is a challenge to play and a pleasure to walk.
All levels of walking and hiking are available in the local area, ranging from those reserved for the very experienced and fully equipped, to those for the gentle ambler. Those seeking a challenge will be keen to pursue the Ulster Way as it winds its way through the county. Rossahilly House can provide on request, details of some recommended walks in the nearby area. These include the Cuilcagh Mountain Park and the Lough Navar Forest Walk - wind your way up the cliff face to be greeted by amazing panoramic views.
