- Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail (Cuilcagh Legnabrocky Trail): moderate to challenging linear ascent (around 11–15 km return, 4–5 hours) from the Marble Arch Caves car park to the 665-metre summit of Cuilcagh Mountain, often called the “Stairway to Heaven.” The iconic boardwalk protects fragile blanket bog while climbing steep slopes to a dramatic cairn, rewarding with panoramic views over Upper and Lower Lough Erne, the Fermanagh lakelands, and distant Donegal mountains – a flagship trail in the UNESCO Geopark.
- Cliffs of Magho Viewpoint Trail: short but exhilarating clifftop walk (around 2–4 km return) from the Magho Cliffs car park, tracing the edge of a 300-metre limestone escarpment overlooking the vast expanse of Lower Lough Erne. The path offers breathtaking island-dotted lake vistas, especially at sunset, with minimal effort required – perfect for dramatic scenery and photography in this tranquil corner of west Fermanagh.
- Castle Archdale Forest and Lough Shore Trail: gentle, family-friendly loop (about 4–6 km) through Castle Archdale Country Park on the shores of Lower Lough Erne, combining mature woodland paths with lakeside sections. Highlights include WWII history (former RAF base), red deer enclosures, butterfly gardens, and serene marina views; ideal for relaxed walking, picnics, and spotting waterbirds.
- Lough Navar Forest Trail to Cliffs Viewpoint: scenic moderate forest drive followed by a short walk (around 3 km return trail) through Lough Navar Forest Park, leading to the stunning Magho Viewpoint overlooking Lower Lough Erne. The trail winds through conifer plantations to open viewpoints with sweeping lakeland panoramas – a peaceful escape blending forest immersion with one of Fermanagh’s finest overlooks.
- Big Dog Forest Loop: moderate forested circuit (around 5–7 km) in the Big Dog and Carrigan Forests near Derrygonnelly, ascending through dense woodland to open hilltops with expansive views over Lough MacNean and the surrounding drumlins. Rugged yet rewarding, it offers solitude, diverse birdlife, and a true sense of Fermanagh’s undulating green countryside away from the main tourist routes.
