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.

From this vantage point as the terrain starts to rise up to Tullybrack Hill, you can see all the way across the Sillees River, Ross Lough and Carran Lough. Your eyes are also drawn to th lush green farmland and woodlands stretching out below.

Portora Castle was built in 1613 to guard the point where the river flows into the lough. Despite surviving sieges in the 17th century, it lies in ruins following the efforts of schoolboys playing with explosives in 1859 and later storm damage.

Portora Castle was built in 1612 for Sir William Cole. The original castle was comprised of a three storey house with a defensive bawn and four circular towers. Whilst only the remains stand today, you can still imagine what this castle looked like in its prime.

The viewpoint at the Cliffs of Magho is sensational. Enjoy panoramic views over Lough Erne and towards the Atlantic Ocean and Blue Stack mountains. Picnic benches, bins, and an information board are provided at the top.
