Overview
3About Blacklion
Blacklion sits right on the border between County Cavan and Fermanagh, making it a handy stop on the N16 between Dublin and Donegal. It's about 15 kilometers from Enniskillen and 45 kilometers from Sligo, so you'll find plenty of cross-border traffic and travelers using it as a waypoint. The Shannon-Erne Waterway runs straight through town, and Blacklion has one of the last manual swing bridges on the entire canal system. Enniskillen/St Angelo Airport is nearby for air connections, and there are a couple of fast EV chargers, though you'll want to plan ahead for longer trips in this rural spot.
