About Belleek

Belleek, gateway to Fermanagh and Donegal, is in a strategic position on the River Erne. In earlier times Neolithic settlers appeared around the village and legend has it that Fionn Mac Cumhaill's men sharpened their swords on the big limestone rock at Belleek Falls.

Nowadays Belleek is a thriving market town with a variety of pubs, shops, restaurants and a hotel. It is also now linked to the River Shannon and is part of the most extensive inland waterway in Western Europe. Cruisers can be hired at the Marina and this is fast becoming a popular holiday activity.

Major attractions in the area include guided tours of Belleek Pottery, Explore Erne, an exhibition telling the story of Lough Erne and Castle Caldwell forest Park.

For the active tourist, Belleek is located on the Kingfisher Cycle Trail. Fishing can be enjoyed on the Erne and nearby loughs. Walkers are spoilt for choice as the village is close to Lough Navar, Breesy Mountain and a network of quiet country lanes. There is also a Horse Riding Centre located nearby and this is an ideal way to explore the local countryside.
