    Route Description for Crom Estate Walk

    If you enjoy breathtaking views across the water and visiting extraordinary historical sites, then you will certainly want to add the Crom Estate Walk to your list of upcoming adventures. While the route isn’t very challenging, it does offer the chance to visit both the old and new Crom castles, ancient yew trees, and the scenic shores of Lough Erne.

    Setting out from the trailhead next to the visitor centre, you will make your way west, where you will quickly come to the ruins of Old Crom Castle. Constructed in 1611, the castle survived several sieges and was ultimately destroyed by a domestic fire in 1764. Within the grounds of the old castle, you will find two of the oldest yew trees in Ireland that are supposedly over 800 years old.

    From here, you will continue to the northwest and cross over White Bridge to a forested island, where you will enjoy some nice views of Lough Erne while looping around a walled garden and a charming stretch of forest. After crossing back over the bridge, head left and continue along the shoreline to make your way around the grounds of the more modern Crom Castle that was built in 1840. From here, you will turn to the southeast and skirt around the shores of Nalughoge Lough to eventually arrive back at the trailhead.
