Crom Castle is a stunning country house located on the shores of Upper Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It serves as the seat of the Earls of Erne and is part of the expansive Crom Estate, which spans 1,900 acres.

The estate includes the largest surviving area of oak woodland in Northern Ireland and one of the most important and least spoilt freshwater habitats in the British Isles. The wealth of wildlife at Crom is exemplified by the presence of two rare butterflies – the purple hair-streak and wood white, the elusive pine marten and the largest heronry in Ireland

The castle, built in 1840, was designed by the English architect Edward Blore and features a central battlemented tower, smaller towers, and formal gardens. Crom Castle remains the private property of the Earl of Erne but can be hired for events.

Crom Estate is managed by the National Trust.  There are many fine old buildings which enhance the landscape including the ruins of The Old Castle, Crichton Tower and Crom Church. The castle dates to the early 17th century. This older structure survived two Jacobite sieges in 1689 but was destroyed by fire in 1764. Near the ruins, you'll find two ancient yew trees, believed to be over 800 years old.
