Special considerations
Make sure to check the weather forecast before you go to Cuilcagh Mountain and be prepared for changing conditions; it’s not uncommon for Fermanagh to see four seasons in one day.
Comfortable walking or hiking shoes are absolutely essential and it’s a good idea to pack waterproofs and extra layers.
Be sure to bring along a flask of tea or coffee and a few snacks. The Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail is a long walk, and even if you aren’t hungry by the time you reach the top, you’ll have certainly earned a hot cuppa and a couple of biscuits.
What do reviewers have to say?
Many reviewers have described the Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail as an enjoyable walk with stunning views, though most agree it’s not suitable for young kids and advise going on a clear, dry day when you’ll have the best view from the top.
One reviewer described it as “tough but rewarding”.
Another writes, “This walk is fantastic. The boardwalk was hard going in parts at the end but well worth it and the view was amazing. Really felt a job well done by the time we finished. Thoroughly recommend it.”
How to book
Good news! Booking isn’t required for the Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail, however, pre-booking a parking space is advisable. You can do so via the Cuilcagh Boardwalk website.
You’ll want to time your visit correctly. The trail can get incredibly busy during bank holidays and weekends, so it’s best to avoid these times if you can.
