County Fermanagh, located on the western side of the province of Ulster, doesn’t even border the ocean yet almost one-third of its territory is made up of water. The biggest waterway is Lough Erne, an expansive lake where you can boat, fish, and simply appreciate the gorgeous views from the shoreline. Fermanagh also boasts hidden natural wonders, such as the Marble Arch Caves, an expansive system of caverns and underground lakes. Above ground, set aside some time to explore Navar Forest, where traveling by car or on foot will reward you with stunning views of the ancient cliffs and crags. If you want the freedom of cooking your own meals while traveling through this area, read on for a list of the top self-catering accommodations in Fermanagh, UK.
