The national park features lovely forest and lough coast walks, as well as an insect garden and wildflower meadow. During WWII, Castle Archdale was the primary flying boat base, as evidenced by an exhibition in the tourist centre named ‘Castle Archdale at War.’ Lough Erne played an essential role as the most western flying-boat station, from which aircraft safeguarded allied convoys in the North Atlantic from the threat of U-Boats.
Farm Equipment Throughout the Years
The Museum’s collection of agricultural machinery and equipment donated by the Fermanagh farming community includes ploughs, harrows, grubbers, threshing and winnowing machines, and other equipment. Mowing machines, tedders, hay rakes, and rick shifts – all tell the story of haymaking in the past and can be found through the museum.
