Fermanagh

PROPERTY JUNCTION'S HOME BUYERS' GUIDE TO FERMANAGH

Located on the border with the Republic of Ireland, County Fermanagh is one of the most sparsely populated of the Northern Irish counties, relying heavily on agriculture and farming to support its economy. In addition to its bustling and economically significant tourist trade, Fermanagh is home to the town of Enniskillen, which contributes to the retail and services trade in the county which accounts for a not insignificant part of the county's employment and opportunity. With Lough Erne running through the heart of the county, Fermanagh also enjoys its fair share of scenic landscapes, and is a welcoming community for those looking to settle with their next home purchase.

Road   

The A4 trunk road runs from Enniskillen into Armagh before becoming the M1 and leading straight to Belfast, providing the main route out of Fermanagh. The B4 connects to Omagh in County Tyrone, while the A5 carries on up the western border to Derry.

Rail     

Air 

Derry and the Belfast airports are both equally suited to passengers from Fermanagh and easily accessible by road, providing a narrow roster of flights through Ireland, the UK and popular tourist destinations on the continent.

Ferries 

The ferry port at Belfast connects with the mainland UK at Liverpool and Cairnryan, in addition to serving the Isle of Man, albeit the latter less frequently.
