Ulster is a province in the north of the island of Ireland. It is made up of nine counties, six of which are in Northern Ireland and three of which are in the Republic of Ireland. It is the second largest and second most populous of Ireland's four provinces, with Belfast being its biggest city. Unlike the other provinces, Ulster has a high percentage of Protestants, making up almost half of its population. English is the main language and Ulster English the main dialect. A minority also speak Irish, and there is a Gaeltacht in the west. Lough Neagh, in the east, is the largest lake in the British Isles, while Lough Erne in the west is one of its largest lake networks.

3. Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark Florencecourt
The Marble Arch Caves are a series of natural limestone caves located near the village of Florencecourt in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The caves are named after the nearby Marble Arch, a natural limestone arch at the upstream end of Cladagh Glen under which the Cladagh River flows. The caves are formed from three rivers draining off the northern slopes of Cuilcagh mountain, which combine underground to form the Cladagh. On the surface, the river emerges from the largest karst resurgence in Ireland, and one of the largest in the United Kingdom. At 11.5 kilometres the Marble Arch Caves form the longest known cave system in Northern Ireland, and the karst is considered to be among the finest in the British Isles.

4. Roe Valley Country Park Limavady
The Roe Valley Country Park is a forested area containing part of the River Roe, south west of Limavady, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It is maintained by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, which is part of the Department of the Environment of Northern Ireland. The park is approximately 3 miles long and consists of mainly deciduous, riparian woodland on each side of the Roe. The terrain next to the river is mostly steep sided gorge, with some areas of flat grassland on the northwest bank. As the river has a large, freely draining catchment area, it significantly increases in volume and speed soon after heavy rain. This is most visible around the visitor centre, where the river is forced through a narrow section of the gorge.

Headhunters Barber Shop and Railway Museum - Enniskillen

HEADHUNTERS BARBER SHOP AND RAILWAY MUSEUM - Enniskillen County Fermanagh, is one of the most unusual hairdressers you will ever visit! If interested in trains and their history - especially locally in Fermanagh/Monaghan, etc. You must visit the headhunters! If not - still worth a visit - just to see! The best barber museum around?
So visit the headhunters for a traditional barber, railway museum, train museum, barber museum or even a hair cut!!

What might be making a place different is the idea behind opening it or the things it might be offering to the visitors; those which are done and built on a different kind of idea and those which might give the visitor the chance to see things for the first time are considered the ones which will turn to be the most successful.

The Headhunters Barber Shop and Railway Museum in Enniskillen is one of those different places which is considered different in Northern Ireland because in addition to the hair cut which boys will be able to get, the whole family will get the chance to go through a new experience by wandering through the place and see what it has.

Exploring that old time of travel is not offered everywhere and of course when you get to think about it, you will never consider that being in a barber shop place, because this is considered one idea which we believe is different.

This project which is all about the combination and mixture between being a barber shop and at the same time a place that is displaying the history of the local railway. The Johnston family was the mind that prepared for this place which became one of the most visited attractions in Enniskillen, county Fermanagh, which it succeeded at because of the skills they carried for cutting the hair and the interest they had in the history of local railway.

The Headhunters Barber Shop and Railway Museum has one of the largest collections of Irish railway memorabilia on display which starts at the reconstructed booking office where the ticket collector (a statue) invites people to get on a tour and once you step on board, you will be taken through a tour that travels from Fermanagh and the border counties until the closure of the lines in 1957 and all this include those different exhibits which are created differently, such as the Station Master's office, booking office and signal box.

Walking through this museum is interesting because of all those different things which one will get the chance to see there from the old history of the place. While walking inside, you will get the chance to see uniforms, signalling instruments, signs, lamps, tableware, timetables, tickets, as well as those photographs from the three local railway companies: The Great Northern Railway, The Sligo Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway, and the Clogher Valley Railway.

We fell in love with the idea of the place as a whole and loved the experience we had there as well. This place will definitely be a recommendation for those who are interested in the world of railway because they will spend one of the best days in their trip for the old things which they will find displayed, and it is also a good recommended place for those kids who want to have a professional haircut in a different place that will provide them with a different experience and view as well.

For those who might be getting the idea behind the whole place wrongly or think that they should receive a haircut in order to visit and enter the place, this is not the case, you actually don't have to receive a new haircut in order to visit this museum, you could only come for the sake of the museum and even get inside the place for free without having to get any haircuts on the way.

Entering this wonderful and thoughtful place is free of charge and it opens its gates for the people from Tuesday to Saturday from 9 AM to 5:30 PM; remember, you don't have to get a haircut :-)

The location of Headhunters Barber Shop and Railway Museum is in Enniskillen and this brings different other suggestions which we have to put down in order for people to visit different other attractions in the same area; we have been to Pollnagollum Cave ( we have also visited the Enniskillen Castle Museum which is all about the history of Enniskillen and is also one famous attraction found there ( there is also the amazing Finn Lough Resort which we have been to in Enniskillen and which is one of the best places that is found out there ( all that comes in addition to Lough Erne which is the second biggest lake system in Northern Ireland and thus another place for tourists to visit and know more about it and get the chance to enjoy its views (

Some of the best locations around Ireland / Northern Ireland and further afield. A travel blog/vlog of the hidden treasures that are on our doorstep.
