Note: despite the name, Castle Coole is a late-18th-century Neoclassical mansion, not a fortified castle — one of the finest such houses in Ireland or Britain, seat of the Earls of Belmore near Enniskillen. Included here for completeness given its 'castle' name and prominence in Fermanagh heritage tourism.
