Fodor's Expert Review Water Gate

Fermanagh Military Sight

At the Erne riverside, the 16th-century Water Gate, between two handsome turrets, protected the town from invading armies. The flag of St. George flies over the building, a tradition that dates back to the 17th century, when local soldiers of the Inniskilling Regiments fought for the Protestant William of Orange against the Catholic James II.
