Geography
The Cuilcagh range, on the Cavan/Fermanagh border.
Lower Lough Erne
Fermanagh is situated in the southwest corner of Northern Ireland. It spans an area of 1,851 km2 (715 sq; mi), accounting for 13.2% of the landmass of Northern Ireland. Nearly a third of the county is covered by lakes and waterways, including Upper and Lower Lough Erne and the River Erne. Forests cover 14% of the landmass (42,000 hectares).[6] It is the only county in Northern Ireland that does not border Lough Neagh.
The county has three prominent upland areas:
the expansive West Fermanagh Scarplands to the southwest of Lough Erne, which rise to about 350m,
the Sliabh Beagh hills, situated to the east on the Monaghan border, and
the Cuilcagh mountain range, located along Fermanagh's southern border, which contains Cuilcagh, the county's highest point, at 665m.
The county borders:
County Tyrone to the north-east,
County Monaghan to the south-east,
County Cavan to the south-west,
County Leitrim to the west, and
County Donegal to the north-west.
Fermanagh is by far the least populous of Northern Ireland's six counties, with just over one-third the population of Armagh, the next least populous county.
It is approximately 120 km (75 mi) from Belfast and 160 km (99 mi) from Dublin. The county town, Enniskillen, is the largest settlement in Fermanagh, situated in the middle of the county.
The county enjoys a temperate oceanic climate (Cfb') with cool winters, mild humid summers, and a lack of temperature extremes, according to the K?ppen climate classification.
The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty manages three sites of historic and natural beauty in the county: Crom Estate, Florence Court, and Castle Coole.
