You could spend a lifetime in Northern Ireland and still not see it all. Much of that is down to the ever-changing mood of the surrounding seas and the seasonal shifts in colour on the slopes of mountains and the shores of lakes. It has much to do with our people, their endeavour and their giant spirit. 

If it’s a short break you’re looking for, you couldn’t pick a better place than County Fermanagh, especially if you’re a fan of water and all things that happen on and in it. What’s more it’s just 90 minutes from Belfast and two hours from Dublin by road, so it’s a very doable place while feeling very much away from it all. A weekend is all it takes to get the measure and the flavour of the place. 

You’ll find County Fermanagh in the south-west corner of Northern Ireland, south of County Tyrone and west of County Armagh. The county is wrapped around Upper and Lower Lough Erne, with Enniskillen, its largest town, set right in the centre. 

From clifftop views to bridal veils and castle walls, there’s heaps here for everyone to get stuck into in County Fermanagh and draw inspiration from – these are just a few of our favourites. 

As Northern Ireland’s largest county, Tyrone is the daddy of them all when it comes to fun and adventure. You’ll pack loads into a few days here. So, pack your bikes and helmets, walking boots and fleeces, and gear for mucking about in. 

As you’d expect from Northern Ireland’s largest county, Tyrone is packed with things to do whether you’re going with the kids, a group of friends or as a couple. 

When it comes to short breaks, Northern Ireland’s smallest county punches well above its weight. County Armagh is a place that’s got everything going for it. The only question is: Where to start? Here’s a plan to guide you on your travels.

Armagh may be Northern Ireland’s smallest county, but what it lacks in acreage, it more than makes up for in inspiring places to visit and interesting things to see.

Belfast is a city with a talent for reinventing itself. What was once an industrial powerhouse is now a top-of-mind destination for visitors from all over the world.

Here’s a quick pick from our top picks of things to do and see in Belfast. 

Getting to the Causeway Coastal Route is the easy part- the hard work starts when you arrive and are faced with so many things to do and places to see!

Starting in Belfast and continuing all the way to Derry-Londonderry this drive of a lifetime, is the perfect route around which to plan a cheeky mid-week jolly or weekend getaway.
