Inishlyre
Inishlyre is an island located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is situated in Lower Lough Erne and is part of the extensive archipelago within the lough.
Historically, Inishlyre has evidence of early Christian settlement. Archaeological remains suggest the presence of a monastic site, though detailed historical records are limited. The island's name, like many place names in Ireland, likely derives from Gaelic, with "Inis" meaning island.
Today, Inishlyre is primarily farmland, with scattered dwellings and a small population. Access to the island is typically by boat. The island's relatively secluded location contributes to its natural environment and quiet rural character. Like other islands in Lough Erne, Inishlyre is popular for angling and boating.
