Dating back to 3500 BC and positioned amidst the ancient landscape surrounding the Shannon-Erne Waterway, Ballyconnell’s shimmering waters and quiet woodland offer a multitude of active adventures, from horse riding and kayaking to walks, cycling and golf. Cosy up with a pint or home-cooked meal at a local pub or restaurant, or take a gentle stroll down the 4.5 km Ballyconnell Loop, a relaxing trail mixing silky waters and woodlands.
Outside town, the Shannon-Erne Waterway – which started life in 1860 as the Ballinamore and Ballyconnell canal – opens up before you. In summer, cruises and barges float along its peaceful waters, and walkers and cyclists explore the Blueway paths and trails, which run both on and off the waterway. Spot swans and otters at the conservation haven of Crom Estate and enjoy the placid rural scenery of the region by foot, bike or boat.
