Shannon-Erne cruise and boating information
From Ballinamore or Carrick on Shannon, explore the Erne Waterways, the second great Irish river system. The 63 km canal with 34 fine old bridges and 16 locks has been magnificently restored.
Rivers alternate with canals and lakes studded with islands in a unique mixture of peaceful, untouched landscapes and villages offering a traditional welcome. You will head towards Ballyconnell and Belturbet, both with a strong folkloric tradition, and then onwards into County Fermanagh, a land of lakes, a paradise for bird spotters, botanists and fishermen, and your introduction to Northern Ireland. The historic town of Enniskillen is an excellent starting point for discovering the unique attractions of Ulster. Here you are at the heart of one of Europe's last unpolluted paradises.
