Enniskillen is the county town as well as largest town in County Fermanagh, in the southwestern part of Northern Ireland. The town is located in the area between the two parts of Lough Erne, the major lake in County Fermanagh. It has a population of 14,000 (2011 estimate).

The town of Enniskillen has been around since the 15th century. Its oldest building is the Maguire's Stone Castle, which was built during that time. In the 20th century, a bombing by the Provisional Irish Republican Army that killed 11 people in 1987 was regarded as a turning point in the Northern Ireland peace process.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
