My best friend has a farm just outside Enniskillen. Lovely part of the world, people are very friendly and it has a really old fashioned community spirit. As posted above can spend your weekends on the water and evenings in the pub for some craic.

Not too far from Dublin or Belfast but roads aren't great, still do-able in a couple of hours if you fancy some shopping etc. Troubles aren't an issue at all if your outside belfast.

Hope you like it

Sorry, but the troubles as you refer to them arent an issue anywhere in Ireland now, including Belfast. You are creating a picture that everywhere around the city is fine but in Belfast the troubles are somehow ignoring everything and continuing.

I cant sit back and ingnore silly, uneducated and blatently idiotic remarks to go by like that.

Anyone who has not been to Belfast should come over for a weekend, it is a fantastic place. There is so much history here and for sightseeing it is one of the best places in Europe.

Apologies Ciaran, the last line in my post was not well written and certainly didn't mean to cause offence.

I can only write from own my personal experience witnessing a friend being severely assaulted on a night out in Belfast in what was definitely a sectarian attack. Colours my opinion im afraid.

HOWEVER, i realise these things can happen anywhere and again i was probably typing a bit quicker than my brain was working at the end of my last post.

You'll feel right at home in Enniskillen....its now full of English people. I walk up the street and am amazed at the numbers, but its a nice place and you will find it a real home from home.

Cheers

Apology 100% ACCEPTED!
