Castle Archdale Country Park

Castle Archdale Country Park is the perfect family day out! It boasts beautiful woodland and lough shore walks, an insect garden and wildflower meadow.

The Castle Archdale War Exhibition there is also worth a visit. It was the main flying boat base during WWII, highlighted in an exhibition in the visitor centre entitled ‘Castle Archdale at War’. Learn about the role played of Castle Archdale during the war and this display includes such items as old parts of aeroplanes, fuel tanks and old documents relating to the war! Lough Erne played an important role as the most westerly flying-boat station, from which aircraft protected the allied convoys from the U-Boat threat in the North Atlantic.
Browse the Farm Equipment Through the Ages Exhibition too!  The Museum’s collection of farm machinery and equipment presented by the farming community of Fermanagh includes ploughs, harrows, grubbers, threshing and winnowing machines - all the equipment needed for tillage in Fermanagh! These items are on display in the arches adjacent to the lower courtyard car park.

As well as this, their 'Limestone Landscapes' Exhibition shows the value of their visually stunning limestone landscapes.
