ROUTE FROM DUBLIN TO BELLE ISLE

Leave Dublin on the N3 and take the following route;

Navan – Kells – Virginia – Cavan

As you come into Cavan at the first roundabout, take the third exit onto bypass, signposted Enniskillen. Turn right into Butlers Bridge and go straight across mini roundabout onto the N54, signposted Clones.

You will reach the village of Cloverhill. Continue further for another 3.5 miles and take a left fork towards the village of Newtownbutler.

Newtownbutler is in Northern Ireland and from there you should travel on to Lisnaskea and then Maguiresbridge.

At Maguiresbridge you join the main A4 road and turn towards Enniskillen.

Travel for approximately 3 miles and turn left at the road junction signposted for Lisbellaw/Carrybridge.

In Lisbellaw village, half way up the hill, turn left at the Wild Duck Inn (small signpost for Carrybridge).

Continue for approximately 3 miles to a crossroads (with a red telephone kiosk). Go straight across this junction until you come to a ‘T’ junction.

Turn left at this point and continue straight on, past a church and a small lake on the left.

Approximately 200/300 yards past the lake, you will see a house on the right, (with a red telephone kiosk and post box outside).

You should turn right here; at which point you are at the start of the avenue to Belle Isle.

Continue straight on until Belle Isle House comes into view. Keep to the right until you come to the courtyard and reception.
