In Ballyshannon, the oldest town in Ireland, you'll find two iconic tributes to blues-rock legend Rory Gallagher, who was born here in 1948. In the heart of the town, on The Diamond, stands the life-size 2010 bronze Rory Gallagher statue, capturing the guitarist in full flow with his battered Fender Stratocaster. This is an essential photo opportunity for fans wanting to soak up the atmosphere of the annual International Tribute Festival.

This is a nice spot to have a bit of a rest and a bite to eat after your lovely walk. Very convenient being next to the road and with a couple of benches here as well.

As the Glenanniff River travels down from the mountains above, it has eroded the local blue limestone to form a deep river valley. Fowleyโs Falls is not a single drop waterfall; instead, it cascades in a series of drops over the exposed bedrock to form a spectacular torrent of water rushing through the steep valley towards Lough Melvin.

Castle Caldwell stands on a peninsula overlooking Lower Lough Erne. The castle was built in the early 17th century for the Caldwell's and was kept in the family until 1817 when it was passed on through marriage. The castle became a ruin in the 1900s and is now very much taken over by woodland, if you can use your imagination to picture the castle in all its glory it's still a magnificent sight.
