Belcoo to Beleek including Lough Navar Forest Option
The uplands of west Fermanagh are comprised of a fractured mosaic of high plateaux, cut deeply by lake-filled valleys and topped by forestry and blanket bog. This 22 mile-long section of the Ulster Way between Belcoo and Belleek explores some of the most remote corners of the region. It also affords the option of taking in the celebrated views from the Cliffs of Magho by walking an additional loop through Lough Navar Forest.

Accommodation and Useful Facilities
Refreshments are available at both the start and the finish of the route in Belcoo and Belleek.

There is a campsite, a few Bed and Breakfasts and Gueshouse at the start of the section in Belcoo, with one hotel, one B&B and one Guesthouse at the finsih in Belleek. There are limited accommodation options along this section of the route so walkers may wish to arrange collection from accommodation to the east of the route in Derrygonnely.
