Dulrush Lodge is an ideal location for walkers. Situated among a range of scenic terrains; mountains, forest and castle walks, there will be something so suit all strengths, abilities and interests.

Castle Caldwell Forest Park

One popular route for walking holidays in Northern Ireland is that of Castle Caldwell Forest Park. Located beside Dulrush Lodge, the park lies at the western end of Lower Lough Erne.

The walk takes in both man made and natural wonders, including the dark and overgrown ruins of the castle (originally built in 1612); a stone kiln built in limestone rock and a half-moon limestone bench along the shoreline. Natural beauty is all around – part of the shoreline is a National Forest Nature Reserve. There are also fine views across rolling farmland, Lough Erne and the Magho Cliffs.

In addition to being one of the finest destinations for walking holidays in Northern Ireland, this is also a bird watching paradise. Many of the offshore islands are designated bird sanctuaries and the RSPB monitors the area because birds, such as the Common Scooter, are regular visitors.

Walking Guide

Fermanagh District Council have produced a carefully planned and comprehensive walking guide, detailing 25 unique walks throughout the county, which is available from Dulrush Fishing Lodge
