About
Escape to the shores of Upper Lough Erne and discover the breathtaking beauty of Crom Estate, a tranquil 2,000-acre landscape of ancient woodlands, historic ruins, and scattered islands.
One of Ireland’s most important conservation areas, Crom is rich in both natural and built heritage. As you explore through self-led walks, enjoy stunning lake views, encounter ancient yew trees, and discover features from across the centuries—including old castle ruins, historic outbuildings, Crighton Tower, and even surviving Second World War remains.
The estate is home to a remarkable diversity of wildlife, from butterflies and wild deer to the elusive pine marten, making every visit a chance to connect with nature and history in equal measure. Visitors can also explore the exhibition space and enjoy quiet moments at scenic spots such as the bird hide and walled garden.
Reflecting this year’s theme, “Heritage at Risk: Revive, Resist, Reimagine,” Crom Estate highlights the importance of actively managing and protecting both landscapes and historic features—ensuring that its fragile ecosystems and rich heritage continue to survive and thrive for generations to come.
Why not leave the road behind and hire a boat from the Visitor Centre. Explore a maze of tranquil islands dotted off the shore as well as Crighton Tower, a stone folly built in the 1800's as an observatory - one of Crom's most iconic features. If sailing the lapping lough entices you to stay a little longer, book into one of our cosy holiday cottage nestled in the heart of the estate.
