Crehan Island

Grossbritannien | Europa: Atlantik

Crehan Island is very convenient to both Derryad and Geaglum Quays, Lisnaskea marina and boat club facilities, while the busy market town of Lisnaskea, with its schools, churches, medical clinic, a large variety of exciting independent shops, traditional pubs, friendly restaurants and leisure facilities are all within a 15 minutes drive. The island town of Enniskillen is less than 45 minutes by road via the A4 with Belfast (NI) and Dublin (Irl) international ferries and airports (easily accessible within a 2 – 2 ½ hour road trip), travelling North or South on Ireland’s safe and modern road networks. A helipad located at the award-winning “Watermill” French restaurant at Kilmore Quay is close by while the former World War II St Angelo/Enniskillen airport is also very convenient to Derryad Quay and Crehan Island. Unfortunately there is no building permit available for this island.

Crehan is a six acre island with many mature oaks, scotch pine and beech trees along the North West elevated shoreline, within which a well-screened general purpose wood cabin is located ideal for storage or camping.Within a sheltered bay on the Southeast shore, you’ll find a solid private wooden jetty,providing a safe harbour for both a smaller sailing craft and also a sheltered berth for a motor cruiser of up to 12 meters in length.

During the summer months with lower water levels the adjoining larger 100-acre island of Dernish can be reached via a boundary gate leading along a stone causeway. Dernish’s lush sweet pastures are also home to the well-known Kettyle herd of pedigree beef cattle, a produce highly prized and savoured throughout many award-winning restaurants in Ireland, France, Germany and farther afield. Both Crehan and Dernish Islands are part of the wider Upper Erne SPA designated region.

Crehan Island is a birdwatchers and nature lovers paradise with many species of birds, mammals and insects living on or visiting the area throughout the four seasons of the year. The island, together with neighbouring Dernish has been awarded ASSI status. The Owners work closely with the RSPB, Woodland Trust, Fermanagh Red Squirrel Group and NIEA in order to protect and manage this special place, whilst at the same time benefiting from their support and encouragement in preserving and fostering a wide range of wildlife and biodiversity. This all set within a totally private and secure environment, with no public access, providing lots of peace, tranquility and space for the owners, their family and friends to visit, enjoy, and benefit from throughout the year.
