The castle is located at the address Enniskillen BT74 5GH. There is no designated parking at the castle, so you may need to find a nearby street parking spot.

  For those using public transportation, begin your journey at the Enniskillen Bus Station. Take the bus heading towards Irvinestown (check local schedules for the most current routes). You will want to get off at the B82 stop. From there, it is approximately a 20-minute walk to Portora Castle. Head southwest on the B82, then follow the signs to Portora Castle, which is located at Enniskillen BT74 5GH. Be sure to plan your return trip ahead of time, as bus schedules may vary.
