Story

The Fermanagh Camino is a unique, three-day walking journey that weaves through Donegal & Fermanagh’s stunning landscapes, starting at the tranquil shores of Lough Derg and culminating in the historic island town of Enniskillen. Spanning approximately 35 miles (56km), covering 13 miles on day one, 12 miles on day two and 10 miles on day three. The Camino provides an opportunity to walk for a cause, as all funds raised go directly to Cancer Connect NI. Participants can embark on the full journey or join in for any part, experiencing the beauty of Fermanagh while making a meaningful difference.

Day 1: Lough Derg to Boa Island

The first leg of the Camino begins at Lough Derg, immersing walkers in serene lake views and woodland paths, heading towards Boa Island. Boa Island adds an air of mystique to the route with Caldragh Cemetary where you can see the Dreenan Stone Figure (also known as Boa Island Figure/Janus Figure). This stage concludes with a Camino meal and an overnight stay at Lusty Beg Resort, where participants can relax and recharge amidst the beautiful island surroundings.

Day 2: Edgewater to Castle Archdale

The second stage starts from Edgewater (a short bus journey from Lusty Beg Island) and continues towards Castle Archdale Country Park, taking in the stunning views of White Island, Davy's Island and Old Castle Archdale. After exploring this historic site, participants will make their way by bus to the Manor House Country Hotel, enjoying a restful evening in a welcoming, scenic setting.

Day 3: Walking tour of Enniskillen – Ireland's only island town

On the final day, a bus will take participants from Manor House Country Hotel to Enniskillen town, where the Camino continues with a walk through the town’s remarkable historical sites. Walkers will explore the rich history of Enniskillen, discovering sites of cultural and architectural importance while reflecting on their journey and the impact of their support for Cancer Connect NI.
