Autumn in Enniskillen
There is something about Autumn in Enniskillen that makes us not forget about summer but also has us looking forward to the festive months ahead! Long countryside walks through golden brown glistening trees makes us all feel warm and cosy inside! After the past 18 months, a relaxing trip is just what everyone needs, just before the hustle and bustle of Christmas is on the way! Belmore Court & Motel is the perfect solution for a weekend stay away (or even a few days longer!) in the crisp months of Autumn and most certainly one of the best choices of motel or hotels in the Enniskillen area.
Belmore Court is a multi-award-winning four-star Guest Accommodation conveniently set in the vibrant island town of Enniskillen and the heart of Fermanagh Lakelands, meaning it has the most beautiful views of neighbouring lakes and wonderful countryside scenery.

Fermanagh, known as Northern Ireland’s Lake District, truly makes for the most wonderful countryside stay away from home. Alongside being conveniently located, Belmore Court has a number of partnerships with local restaurants meaning that there is always an enticing restaurant located very nearby!
With an abundance of activities to enjoy, such as visiting Lough Erne by water taxi or driving through Navar Forest or even immersing yourself into the depths of the Marble Arches, all in all, there is something for everyone in the family, whatever the weather there is an activity to keep you occupied! After a long day of exploring and getting to know the area, finish the day off with a short walk from Belmore into an abundance of local pubs, restaurants and unique Cafes and Delis!

5 Autumn Things to do
As summer fades, Fermanagh blossoms into one of Ireland’s most magical and picturesque autumnal destinations. This scenic county’s lush forests ignite into brilliant, warm hues, from amber to crimson. The crisp blue lakes reflect trees of flaming red and gold dotting the rolling green hills. The very landscape becomes a living work of art.
Make the most of the stunning autumn beauty during your Fermanagh visit. Pack your camera to capture radiant photos of fall foliage framing traditional cottages and castle estates. Savour the crunch of leaves underfoot on walks through woodlands and trails. Breathe in the earthy petrichor lingering in the cool air. Spend afternoons wandering charming villages abundant with harvest charm. Let the vibrant colours, flavours and textures of the season come to life all around you.
Fermanagh in autumn is truly an experience for the senses. Immerse yourself in the natural splendour, and you’re guaranteed to make memories as brilliant and rich as the fall palette before you.
