Dromod - Cavan & Leitrim Railway

Strokestown - Strokestown House, Famine Museum, Gardens and Restaurant

Strokestown Park House is an 18th Century mansion which has been faithfully restored. It is unique in that it retains its original furnishings and professionally guided tours allow visitors to browse freely through the stately surroundings. The Famine museum uses a combination of original documents and images from the Strokestown Park collection to explain the circumstances of the Great Irish Famine in the 1840's. This collection boasts an extensive range of papers including actual letters written by the tenants on the Strokestown Estate at the time of the Famine. The beautifully restored six acre Georgian Walled Garden Complex gives a unique insight into horticulture practices and garden architecture from the 1730's to the present day.

Elphin - Windmill

An early 18th century fully restored windmill. Built in the early 1700's to grind oats and wheat into a meal, for the local population. The mill worked for about a hundred years and was then abandoned. In 1992, the derelict tower was acquired by the Elphin community and restored.

ROUTE 2: Fenagh - Florence Court - Marble Arch Caves - Return via Enniskillen.

Florence Court

Situated amongst the mountains and forests of west Fermanagh, Florence Court is a fascinating example of mid 18th century Irish Palladian architecture. The present house, the former home of the Earls of Enniskillen, was started by John Cole and completed around 1775. It was named after Florence, his wife.

Marble Arch Caves

One of Europe's finest showcases allowing visitors to explore a fascinating underworld os rivers, waterfalls, winding passages and lofty chambers. Stalactites glisten above stream ways and chambers while fragile mineral veils and cascades of creamy calcite coat walls and spread as shimmering terraces across rock strewn floors.
