About the reserve

This remote and undisturbed island in Co Fermanagh is a mosaic of parkland, ancient and wet woodland fringed by reedbed. 

Although no longer inhabited, the island was home to the Maher family for generations. Remnants of the former farmyard can still be seen today, offering a glimpse into its past.

Some interesting species found on Inishcreagh include the rare horn stalkball fungus, which only grows on the horns of goats and sheep.

The surrounding waters are home to water birds such as swans, great crested grebe, little grebe. In winter, large numbers of tufted ducks can also be seen here. 

At Inishcreagh, we make regular visits to monitor the species and habitats. 

As the nature reserve is privately-owned, it is not open to the public.
