Castle Archdale, Historical estate in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
Castle Archdale spans across the shores of Lough Erne Lower, featuring extensive forest trails and a marina within its Country Park grounds.
The estate originated in 1615 when John Archdale constructed a T-shaped castle with defensive walls, which later faced destruction during the Irish Rebellion of 1641.
The estate transformed into RAF Castle Archdale during World War II, serving as a crucial base for flying boats with 2,500 military personnel stationed there.
Visitors can explore the castle ruins, walk through forest paths, access the marina facilities, and take ferry services to White Island from the park grounds.
RAF aircraft from Castle Archdale located the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941, leading to a decisive military operation in World War II.
