Castle Caldwell stands on a peninsula overlooking Lower Lough Erne. The castle was built in the early 17th century for the Caldwell's and was kept in the family until 1817 when it was passed on through marriage. The castle became a ruin in the 1900s and is now very much taken over by woodland, if you can use your imagination to picture the castle in all its glory it's still a magnificent sight.

This fortified house is on Tully Point and built for Sir John Hume who occupied the house until 1641 when it was attacked by John Maguire and burned on Christmas Eve with all its inhabitants massacred. After that it was not lived in again. There is a visitors centre in a restored farmhouse that has an interesting exhibition telling a number of stories relating to the castle. To visit the castle be sure to step off the bike as it is on foot only!

Even when you climb to the lookout point, you always have great views of the lake - and on the way several benches invite you to take a break during the ascent.
