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.

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.
