Belleek Pottery
Ireland's oldest pottery, founded in 1857, known for its eggshell-thin Parian china. Visitors can tour the workshops and museum.
Belleek Pottery, in the border village of Belleek at the western end of Lough Erne, is known for its translucent, pearlescent Parian china and its basketweave porcelain. A guided tour of about 30 minutes lets you watch craftsmen pour slip, weave flower baskets and hand-paint decorations up close. The museum displays classic pieces from over the years, and there is a shop and a tearoom. The tour costs about £10. Belleek is about 40 km from Enniskillen and can be combined with Boa Island and the Cliffs of Magho on the lake's north shore.
