Enniskillen, Erne Bridge

The River Erne is the second-longest river in Ulster. It rises on the east shoulder of Slieve Glah mountain and flows 80 miles through Lough Gowna, Lough Oughter and Upper and Lower Lough Erne, County Fermanagh, to the sea at Ballyshannon. The town of Enniskillen is mostly situated on an island in the river, between Upper and Lower Lough Erne. Before 1950, the only access to the town was by two bridges, the present East Bridge (built in 1892) and the West Bridge, or Erne Bridge, which was built in 1885.
