City Walks - Inverness Walking Tour - Virtual walk and Walking Treadmill Video
Inverness is known as the capitol of the Highlands and is surrounded by historic and natural attractions and activities. Some of the best things to do in Inverness area are actually day tours into the surrounding country side. One of the advantages of Inverness is that they have a train station and so there are many hotels and B&Bs as well as day tours running out to the more famous locales.
We had great weather for our Inverness walking tour. Inverness Scotland is much smaller than I expected and Inverness tours are easy to do. For the best hikes in Scotland, many people head to the highlands but I do enjoy exploring all the wonderful cities and towns. For me, they provide some of the best walks in Scotland.
I'd love to get back to show you the parks down by the river and some of the more residential areas on the other side of the river Ness. We had a sick kid this day so had to quit early.
Walking Scotland is easy as trails are well mapped and marked. Cities are easy to walk with google maps.
From Wikipedia:
Inverness from the Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Nis, meaning Mouth of the River Ness; Scots: Inerness) is a city in the Scottish Highlands. It is the administrative centre for The Highland Council and is regarded as the capital of the Highlands. Inverness lies near two important battle sites: the 11th-century battle of Blàr nam Fèinne against Norway which took place on the Aird and the 18th century Battle of Culloden which took place on Culloden Moor. It is the northernmost city in the United Kingdom and lies within the Great Glen (Gleann Mòr) at its north-eastern extremity where the River Ness enters the Moray Firth. At the latest, a settlement was established by the 6th century with the first royal charter being granted by Dabíd mac Maíl Choluim (King David I) in the 12th century. The Gaelic king Mac Bethad Mac Findláich (MacBeth) whose 11th-century killing of King Duncan was immortalised in Shakespeare's largely fictionalized play Macbeth, held a castle within the city where he ruled as Mormaer of Moray and Ross.
The population of Inverness grew from 40,969 in 2001 to 46,869 in 2012. The Greater Inverness area, including Culloden and Westhill, had a population of 59,969 in 2012. In 2018, it had a population of 69,989.[5] Inverness is one of Europe's fastest growing cities, with a quarter of the Highland population living in or around it, and is ranked fifth out of 189 British cities for its quality of life, the highest of any Scottish city.[8] In the recent past, Inverness has experienced rapid economic growth: between 1998 and 2008, Inverness and the rest of the central Highlands showed the largest growth of average economic productivity per person in Scotland and the second greatest growth in the United Kingdom as a whole, with an increase of 86%. Inverness is twinned with one German city, Augsburg, and two French towns, La Baule and Saint-Valery-en-Caux.
Inverness College is the main campus for the University of the Highlands and Islands. With around 8,500 students, Inverness College hosts around a quarter of all the University of the Highlands and Islands' students, and 30% of those studying to degree level.
In 2014, a survey by a property website described Inverness as the happiest place in Scotland and the second happiest in the UK. Inverness was again found to be the happiest place in Scotland by a new study conducted in 2015.

Lough Erne County Fermanagh; NI Second Biggest Lake System-Irish Fishing - Enniskillen Fermanagh
These views of Lough Erne, county Fermanagh! Yes, they took our breath away as well, just the same way they did with you right now! A place in the town of Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, that you should add right now on your list of places to visit in Ireland.
Lough Erne is the name given to the two connecting lakes in county Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Lough Erne is considered the second biggest lake in Northern Ireland and Ulster and it is considered the fourth biggest in Ireland as a whole - which pushed us to reach this place, get introduced to its beauty, and see how magnificent it is.
The smaller southern lake is known as the Upper Lough as it is higher up the river, while the bigger northern lake is called the Lower Lough or Broad Lough. Lough Erne is found on the town of Enniskillen which is placed on the short stretch of river between the two lakes.
For us, this is considered the perfect place for nature due to the idea behind Lough Erne being the place where the two lakes meet, and also for being a place where different islands along with many coves and inlets are found; just as you can see through the video, it is a perfect description for nature.
Enniskillen town, where the Lough Erne is located, is a civil parish in county Fermanagh and it is located exactly in the center of the county where the upper and lower parts of Lough Erne lake are found. Everything has a story behind and the name of this town is believed to carry a story for it as well; it is believed that the name originally came from Cethlenn who was wounded in battle by an arrow and attempted to swim across the River Erne but never made it, and thus the place was named after her, since it comes from the Irish name Inis Ceithleann.
Visiting this place, Lough Erne, will give you the chance to see some of the other landmarks which are found in the town of Enniskillen, such as the Enniskillen Castle which is considered the oldest building in the place. It is not just about the castle, but Enniskillen is the place where the British Army regiments were found. This is considered a place with rich history and there are lots of hidden stories and gems that this name still carries.
To complete your trip in Enniskillen, there are some other suggestions which we will provide you with to visit as much historical and natural places as possible. In addition to the castle, you could also visit the Inniskillings Museum, the Castle Coole, the Monea Castle, the Coles Monument, the Portora Castle, the Tully Castle, the Florence Court, as well as other things simpler than those which you could also come across.
If you are staying at Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, during your visit but you are heading to Lough Erne in Enniskillen town to check this magical place in county Fermanagh, you could actually make a day trip there because it does not take so long; there are different routes and the longest of them will get you there in about two hours and twenty minutes in total, which is considered reasonable for a day trip and enjoying a couple of things to see in Enniskillen.
For those who are not willing to consider this a day trip, they could then search for the resorts or hotels which they could book at in order to enjoy their stay. One of the places which we suggest is the Lough Erne resort, which is sometimes referred to as Enniskillen Hotel, where there are different outdoor activities that one could get the chance to be part of in order to enjoy the fresh air of this place, such as going to the Lough Navar Forest, visiting the Crom Estate, going to Castle Archdale, or else visiting the Cuilcagh Mountain - these come in addition to the ones we have already mentioned above.
Connolly Cove is the place where we bring different recommendations and suggestions for those who enjoy visiting several places in the countries they are going to visit; not just the famous landmarks, but those beautiful ones which might not be gaining the same amount of tourists and visitors. This channel is mainly focused on Ireland and Northern Ireland, but we have been working hard to expand and reach different other countries around the world.
There are lots of things to be seen and visited in Northern Ireland ( there are also a lot of attractions that one could visit in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland ( you could enjoy the hop-on hop-off tour if you are visiting Dublin, Ireland ( and you could also enjoy seeing the location for filming The Game of Thrones which also happens to be in Ireland (
Tell us more about your journey to the Lough Erne, County Fermanagh, the town of Enniskillen, and share with us the places you have visited, the activities you have done there, and the amount of days you stayed there; tell us more about your trip to see this place in Ireland.

Pollnagollum Cave Enniskillen - Fermanagh - Northern Ireland
Belmore Forest - Game of Thrones film - Where is Game of Thrones filmed? Great place for Northern Ireland vacation or Ireland vacation - part of the Marble Arch Caves.
There are lots of places - natural ones - which could be visited in Northern Ireland for those who are searching for ideas. Pollnagollum Cave in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, is one of those wide spaces that will take your breath away immediately and let you fall in love with it - or at least that what happened with us.
Pollnagollum Cave walk is at the heart of Fermanagh's Boho cave country, it is a route that is mostly along forest tracks and offers stunning landscapes and views of Belmore Mountain. The first part of the walk passes through the Coolarkan Quarry which was worked for its limestone rock and which is one of many quarries in West Fermanagh.
Pollnagallum Cave means hole of the doves and it was found and explored in 1895 by the Dublin-born naturalist, Henry Lystor Jameson, and the French cave explorer, Edouard Alfred Martel, who was also the one to explore the Marble Arch Cave system, and after a prolonged rainfall, a powerful waterfall cascades from the top of a 12 metre limestone cliff before disappearing into the mouth of Pollnagollum. The walk inside Pollnagollum Cave along Belmore Forest track, where up the hill it offers magnificent views over the surrounding area including Cuilcagh Mountain, Lower Lough MacNean to the south and Brougher Mountain to the east.
This is one of the most beautiful destinations we have ever been to in Ireland. During those walks in the city - and if you happen to be lucky enough - you could spot Irish hares which are native to Ireland and which are considered the oldest mammals surviving in Ireland before the last Ice Age.
Pollnagollum Cave in Belmore Forest is considered part of the Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark, where an extensive maze of cave lies beneath the feet and which tends to attract lots of cavers and potholers from far to this area and place in Ireland. Pollnagollum Cave is more than 19 kilometers in length and it is considered the longest cave on the island of Ireland and the third deepest cave in the republic.
We have been to different places that happen to be in county Fermanagh as well and which every single one of them makes it a must to be there. From those places which we have been to there, we visited the Enniskillen Castle Museum ( we have also been the Headhunters Barber Shop and Railway Museum ( we went to the Conagher Forest which is also part of the Marble Arch Global Geopark ( and of course we couldn't miss the chance of visiting Lough Erne (
Being in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, there was one different kind of experience which we decided to go through and which is learning some cocktail recipes - also getting the chance to taste them - at the Lakeside Bar & Grill in Killyhevlin Hotel, by the help of Steve, the bartender.
Alcoholic cocktails are actually easy to be prepared but also one should always get the right tips in order to follow them. From those which we knew how they are prepared and seen how the process goes, we knew more about the Cosmopolitan cocktail ( we knew how the Whiskey Snapper is prepared and set ready ( we also knew the ingredients of the Brandy Alexander cocktail and how it should be prepared ( we were also introduced to the Killy Kiss cocktail ( and finally we knew more about Cinderella mocktail which is served for those who want to stay away from alcohol ( The good thing about this place - or at least one thing we liked - is the fact that they serve an Irish brand beer that is locally made in Fermanagh, which is called Inish Mac Saint ( and they also serve the Boatyard Double Gin (
You might not get impressed with those different cocktails because they are served almost everywhere, but we were more impressed with the preparation phase and the serving way - they are really good.
There are different places to visit in Ireland and usually you will find those attractions, sites, and destinations to head out for in every places you choose to go to and stay at during your vacation - just like the case in County Fermanagh.

Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark
The Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark contains some of the finest landscapes in the north of Ireland. Ranging from rugged uplands, lakes and forests through to gently rolling drumlins, the landscapes of the Geopark represent a complex Earth history dating back as far as 650 million years ago. With evidence of mountain building and destruction; searing hot deserts and warm tropical oceans; and of icy wastelands and water-worn caverns, the rocks and landscapes of the Geopark are nothing short of amazing.

Conquered Cuilcagh Mountain [VLOG #20]
Click 'Show More' for more details/info on our trip...
This is the first day of our 2-day Northern Ireland adventure.
So from Dublin we drove up to County Fermanagh where Cuilcagh Mountain Park is located. We parked our car close to the mountain trail which is in Marble Arch Caves
When we parked our car we decided that we should at least explore the cave since we were already there. After that, the journey of the climb started. I took us around 2hrs each way (medium paced walk) and an hour of rest at the top of the mountain. All I can say is that it was a bearable climb considering there were proper pathways and the weather was on our side that day. I recommend bring water to keep you hydrated at all times.
After that excursion, we took a trip back to the Irish border in county Monaghan to rest for the next day in a lovely Airbnb (breakfast included). I must say our host Jimmy was really nice and I'd recommend it if ever your visiting the surrounding areas of Monaghan.
The next vlog is more adventures within Northern Ireland, so stay tune for that.
Credits to everyone who made this trip happen and were cool enough to be on my vlogs.

Cuilcagh - Legnabrocky Trail // N E W Y E A R S D A Y 2 0 1 7
We rented a house right beside Lough Erne, to bring in the new year.
After a baltic New Year's dip and a 'cracking' breakfast, we decided to head out on an adventure, to the Cuilcagh-Legnabrocky Trail.
I decided to play with my friends camera and practice editing. Never too late to acquire a new skill - new year; new me and all that I guess?
