Necarne Castle
Necarne Castle at Irvinestown in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, is a nineteenth-century Gothic Revival house on the site of an earlier castle, now used as a residential equestrian centre and activity facility. The castle is set within an estate on the shores of Castle Lough, a small lake near the town of Irvinestown in the rolling agricultural countryside of mid-Fermanagh. The equestrian tradition at Necarne is well established and the centre hosts a range of residential equestrian courses and training programmes, making the historic castle buildings an unusual combination of heritage building and active sporting facility. The surrounding County Fermanagh landscape, with its two great lakes of Upper and Lower Lough Erne and the Cuilcagh Mountain plateau on the border with the Republic, is one of the most scenically attractive areas of Northern Ireland.
