Castle Archdale Forest is a 520-hectare mixed broadleaved and coniferous lowland forest and it is one of the finest spots to appreciate the stunning beauty of Lower Lough Erne. The forest is a richly varied one in terms of views and features and includes ruined Castles, WWII docks and buildings, ancient woodland, millennium forest and views over Lower Lough Erne to White Island, Davy’s Island and further afield.

Woodland and Riverside Walk

Distance: 0.5 miles / 1km

Grade: Easy

Terrain: Mostly forest track

Route: Circular

Wheelchair accessible: No

Dogs: Dogs must be kept under control and waste disposed of

A red waymarked circular route through thickets of woodland and commercial forest. The walk meanders along the course of a woodland river, the river sparkles on its journey to Lough Erne, filling your ears with the tranquil sounds of rushing water. If you are lucky, you may spot a kingfisher skimming over the waters in its search for food.

Leaving the river, the path takes you up through the forest driveway winding its way back to the car park. The roadside verges and wonderful wildflowers attract butterflies such as red admiral, speckled wood, and peacock.
