Trail 1
Upper Lough Erne

Belcoo , Templenafferin,
Templerushin & Holywell
Templerushin Medieval
Church
at
Holywell
has a
little window in the wall of
the church known as the
leper window, where those
with this illness could look
in to observe Mass but
could not attend. Near to
the church there is a large
spring, this is the
Holywell,
known as St Patrick’s Well
or ‘Tub’ and founded by St
Sinnell of Cleenish. There
are two streams exiting
the well, each flowing in
a different direction. This
water is reputed to be the
coldest in Ireland and is
thought to have healing
properties for nervous
and paralytic disorders.

Marble Arch Scenic Route &
Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark
some of the finest natural
landscapes in Ireland and
offers a window into the
area’s 650 million year past.
Belcoo
village derives
its name from the Irish
‘béal’ meaning mouth
and ‘cumhang’ or ‘cung’
meaning narrowing,
referring to its position
on a narrow neck of water
between Upper and
Lower Lough Macnean.
Little is known of the history
of
Templenafferin
ruined
church and graveyard
(just outside Belcoo on the
Garrison Rd) but the remains
of an earthen enclosure
suggests a monastic origin.
A large bullaun stone with
three indentations about
250 metres southwest is
known as the baptismal font
but may have pre-Christian
connotations also.
Travel to Florencecourt from
Belcoo via the Geopark. The
loop road takes you through
a “burren” landscape of
limestone almost scraped
clear of soil during the
last ice age about 12,000
years ago. Taking in the
world-famous Marble Arch
Caves, the Geopark boasts
Contact
The Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark is host to one of Europe’s finest
showcaves allowing visitors to explore a fascinating, natural underworld
of rivers, waterfalls, winding passages and lofty chambers.

as the man who introduced
western medicine to
Japan in the 1860s.
Detour to Aghnaglack Cairn
The townland of Aghanaglack, (meaning ‘field of the
hollow’) near Boho has a “double court tomb” which
dates from 4000–2000 BC. The tomb consists of twin
galleries aligned east-west. During excavation in 1938
the tomb was found to contain Bronze Age and Stone
Age items, pots and arrowheads, some of which can be
found on display at the Enniskillen County Museums.
Saint John’s is located about
one mile from the village of
Florencecourt in Killesher
Parish. There is a wonderful
background to the church ie
Benaughlin Mountain. The
graveyard is the burial place
of the Cole family, Earls of
Enniskillen and of Dr. Willis,
whose father discovered
the original Irish Yew tree
growing on the slopes of
this mountain. This Dr. Willis
is highly regarded in Japan

Florence Court House
walled garden, sawmill, ice
house and summer house.
South East of the house in
the Cottage Wood you will
find the Florence Court Yew
(Taxus baccata ‘Fastigiata’)-
the ‘parent’ of all Irish yew
trees. The original tree was
discovered in about 1760.
Aughakillymaude’s Mummer Centre on the Lough
shore, boosts an extraordinary sculpture exhibition
dedicated to explaining the living heritage of
mumming and masked rituals that has parallels
throughout the European Agricultural Society.
Groups / families can take the opportunity to dress up in
rustic straw disguises and be photographed alongside
the “Horrible Wickerman effigy”. Besides photographic
displays, workshops on strawcrafts (masks / harvest
love knots) or rushwork can be arranged on weekdays
or weekends with experienced strawcraftsmen.
Contact the Mummers Centre to participate
or witness spectacular masked ritual events
throughout the calendar year or to purchase
mumming DVDs, books or folklife calendars.
The house, formerly the
home of the Cole family
(who took their title as the
Earls of Enniskillen from
the town founded by their
ancestor William Cole in
1612) is surrounded by a
large area of parkland,
garden and woodland,
with breathtaking views of
Benaughlin and the Cuilcagh
Mountains. The house was
named after St John Cole’s
wife Florence Bourchier
Wrey who came from
Cornwall. With its classical
style and exquisite Rococo
plasterwork, Florence Court
is one of Ulster’s most
important 18th century
houses. Features of this
magnificent demesne
include pleasure grounds,

Every aspect of life in this
classical Irish house, with its

decoration, are brought to
