Lisnaskea (Lios na Scéithe, "fort of the shield") is a town historically in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, midway between Enniskillen and the border with the Republic. It's a small place, but with a population of 3000 in 2021, it's the second-largest town in the former county, and it's the main base for exploring Upper Lough Erne. Local government boundaries have changed so Lisnakea is now part of Fermanagh and Omagh District
