FERMANAGH
From August 25 to 27 (10.30am to 4.30pm) you can gain full access to the top of the iconic round tower at Devenish Monastic site with Historic Environment Division archaeologists who will provide insights into this very important site and answer questions.
There will be a small charge for access up to the top floor, payable at the tower: £2 per adult and £1 per child. The interior of the tower has some confined spaces, with access to the upper floors by ladder stairs and may therefore be unsuitable for very young children, those with mobility difficulties or difficulties in confined spaces.
A number of commercial providers operate boat trips to Devenish Island including Castle Archdale Boat Hire who charge £4 per child and £5 per adult.
