Florence Court
Florence Court is a magnificent mid-eighteenth century Palladian mansion south-west of Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, in the care of the National Trust. Built for the Cole family who were later Earls of Enniskillen, the house features an exuberant central block with carved stone garlands, flanking wings and outstanding Rococo plasterwork interiors of exceptional quality. The estate is also notable as the location of the original Florence Court yew, from which virtually all the Irish yew trees planted in gardens and churchyards worldwide are descended, making this a site of botanical as well as architectural and historical significance. The surrounding parkland with its mountain backdrop in the Cuilcagh Mountain foothills, the walled garden and estate buildings together constitute one of the finest National Trust properties in Northern Ireland.
