RSPB Lower Lough Erne
Overview
Lough Erne is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the UK. Take a leisurely stroll around the forest trails and look across to some of the 40 islands that make up most of the reserve, two of which you can visit by boat. You might see lapwings, curlews and snipe – or perhaps the unique inland colony of breeding Sandwich terns. You may also see pine martens, badgers, red squirrels, otters, hares and stoats in the woodlands.
About the area
Running right through the middle of County Fermanagh are the two parts of Lough Erne, the Upper and the Lower. The Lough’s shape has been likened to a leaping dolphin scattering a shower of broken water drops behind it.
