THE BAHÁ'ÍS OF FERMANAGH

WHERE WE ARE

Fermanagh is one of the six counties of Northern Ireland and also a local government administrative district.

"Fermanagh, a county of Ireland in Ulster, 43 m. long and 33 broad, containing 694 square miles, bounded N by Donegal and Tyrone, E by Tyrone and Monaghan, S by Cavan and Leitrim; divided into 18 parishes, and sends 2 members to parliament. It contains rich iron ore and coal, and some marble quarries; but is chiefly noted for the breeding of black cattle, and the manufacture of linen. It is navigable throughout, by means of lough Erne, but is so uneven and boggy, as to render it difficult for travelling. Pop.130,399. Capital, Eniskillen."
[From The New London Gazetteer (1826)]

Mostly low-lying, the county is the heart of the “Irish Lakeland” and its loughs and islands attract fishermen, boaters, those interested in its many historic sites, and general visitors. The capital, Enniskillen, stands at a strategic crossing point at the junction of Upper and Lower Lough Errne. Other attractions include National Trust properties such as Castle Coole and Florencecourt, and the spectacular Marble Arch Caves.
