About

Lisnaskea ward is situated in the southern portion of Fermanagh and Omagh district, centred on the small town of the same name. The area is characterised by a low-lying landscape of drumlins, small lakes, and pastoral farmland. The Upper Lough Erne forms a significant part of its eastern boundary, with its intricate network of waterways and islands defining the local geography. Economic activity is largely based around agriculture and local services for the surrounding rural community.

The ward includes the historic Castle Balfour, a 17th-century plantation castle situated in the town itself. The surrounding townlands feature a dispersed settlement pattern typical of the region. Lisnaskea serves as a focal point for the southern shores of Upper Lough Erne, with several minor roads leading to informal moorings and fishing points. The local environment is shaped by the lough's seasonal fluctuations in water level.
