Take a Virtual Tour of Castle Archdale
Castle Archdale Country Park is situated just outside the village of Lisnarick, about 10 miles north west of Enniskillen and extends to cover 230 acres along the shores of Lower Lough Erne. Castle Archdale is based on the demesne of the Archdale Manor House, which was built in 1773, of which now only the courtyard buildings remain.
Boats are available for hire for those wishing to explore the nearby islands, including Devenish Island and White Island.
Features within the Park include a red deer enclosure, wildfowl ponds, nature trail, butterfly garden and wildflower meadow. To make the most of your visit, be sure not to miss the Archdale Centre, which is in the corner of the main courtyard. Here you can see various exhibitions, which includes Castle Archdale at War. Evidence of the 1939-45 War can also be found throughout the park in flying-boat docks, ammunition dumps, Slit trenches, etc. This is because Lough Erne played an important role as the most westerly flying-boat station, from which aircraft protected the allied convoys from the U-Boat threat in the North Atlantic.
You can also visit other castles in Co. Fermanagh including Tully Castle and Enniskillen Castle.
