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.

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 canal is 63km long in total and links the River Shannon and the River Erne. It began life as the Ballinamore-Ballyconnell canal in 1846 and after falling into disrepair with the decline in industry, it was refurbished as a leisure canal from the 1960s.
