Crom Castle is set off the waters of the Upper Lough Enre in the County Fermanagh, the castle is owned by the National Trust along with Castle Coole. The estate as it is more commonly called has 1900 acres and it has the largest surviving area of oak in Northern Ireland. It also has one of the most important freshwater habitats on the British Isles.
The wildlife at Crom is in abundance including two rare butterflies, the purple hair streak and wood white and the elusive pine marten. There are also many historical buildings that adorned the castle and give the landscape an old time historical look. Some of the buildings are the Old castle, the Churchton Tower and the Crom Church; the castle is not open to the public.
