River Erne
Highlight • River
The river is sometimes hard to distinguish as it makes its way through many loughs at the feet of the Cavan and south Fermanagh drumlin hills. The dramatic landscape was once home to thriving salmon and trout populations, although hydroelectric power stations and water population have led to a decline in their numbers.
Along the river lie many Christian and Pagan ancient ruins, some of which are perched atop islands and only accessible by boat.

Rossnowlagh Beach
Highlight • Beach
There's a few shops and restaurants where you can refuel overlooking the crashing waves, as well as a museum and visitor centre.
The beach is very popular with walkers, surfers, wind-surfers, swimmers, and kite-surfers, especially in summer. It's a bit steep to access on your bike, but once there, it's a wonderful spot to relax on the soft sand.
