    Tips

    March 13, 2021

    Flowing 80 miles (129 km) from Slieve Glah to the Atlantic Ocean, the River Erne is the second-longest river in Ulster. The river winds through beautiful countryside in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, making up a part of the border.

    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.
