About Belturbet

Belturbet grew up at one of the best crossing points of the River Erne, and boats are still part of its life: in a busy summer week fifty or more cruisers have tied up here. The public marina lies on the river below the town, with parking beside it and public toilets a short walk away. Local IWAI members worked for a newer jetty with power bollards and a service block that opened in 2023. Across the water, Turbet Island has walking trails and the grassy mound of a motte the Anglo-Normans built early in the 13th century. The cut-stone railway station, once the northern end of the narrow-gauge Cavan & Leitrim line, is now a heritage museum. For a meal ashore there is Indian Palace or The Castle Sports & Gastro Bar, and the Shannon–Erne Waterway comes in from Leitrim a short way downstream.
