| Beautiful Fermanagh Scenery sent to me by Bob Graham. The main viewpoint lets you see from the hills east of Kesh where Tyrone and Fermanagh meet. You can see the wind turbines on the hills. Moving west you can see all of Boa Island and across towards Belleek and beyond to the Donegal Bay in the Atlantic ocean.The other view is just as you enter the forest drive. Looking across the Lough towards Irvinestown then panning south to the distant hills where Tyrone, Monaghan and Fermanagh meet. Further round you can make out the high point in Kinawley (I think it is Knockninny) then on round to the west. Just peeping above the hills in Fermanagh yo get glimpses of the mountains in Leitrim. |
