Tips from the Community
Would not regard the Sligo Road from Enniskillen to Belcoo as a cycle friendly road. Extremely poor surface for considerable stretches, very bendy in places too. I live in Enniskillen; have cycled it but would avoid it if at all possible. Cycling via Five Points , on Swanlinbar Road; then via old rail line from old Letterbreen railway station towards Lough MacNean ; or take road from Five Points towards Gortatole is a far more pleasant and safer option.

Annagh Lough is a popular fishing spot, especially for trout. The trail runs next to the lough here with views across the reedbeds.

At 360 kilometres (224 mi) in length, the magnificent River Shannon is the longest in Ireland. The river rises on Cuilcagh Mountain before flowing through green landscapes towards the Atlantic Ocean. According to Irish mythology, the Shannon was named after Sionann, granddaughter of the sea god Lir. She is said to have gone to the river to find wisdom, but drowned and was carried out to sea. The Shannon hosts diverse plant life and wildlife such as salmon, kingfishers, and even bottlenose dolphins in the Shannon Estuary.

The source of the Shannon is 76 m above sea level in the Cuilcagh Mountains in County Cavan in the north-west of the country. From here it first flows through an underground cave system and comes back to the surface as Shannon Pot. It drains the boggy center of Ireland and flows through lakes rich in fish. The largest of them are Lough Allen, Lough Ree, and Lough Derg. North of Limerick, the river forms rapids. To the west of Limerick it pours through an approximately 100 km long estuary into the Atlantic. The estuary is heavily influenced by the tides. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_(Fluss))
