Castle Caldwell
Castle Caldwell is a ruined plantation-era castle on the shores of Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, set within a forest park that provides excellent birdwatching and walking in a landscape of outstanding natural beauty. The castle was built by the Caldwell family, Scottish planters who received a land grant in this part of Fermanagh in the early seventeenth century. The forest park around the castle is one of the finest woodland nature reserves in Northern Ireland, with old woodland, reedbeds and the open waters of Lower Lough Erne supporting a remarkable range of breeding and wintering birds including the largest common scoter colony in the British Isles. The castle has a curious fame as the site of the Fiddle Stone, a carved stone fiddle erected to commemorate a fiddler who fell into the lough from the laird's pleasure boat while intoxicated.
