Lustymore Island is an island located in Lower Lough Erne, Fermanagh.
The island's name is from the Gaelic Loiste Mór, meaning 'Big lodge'[1] and it is one of a pair with its neighbour in the lake, Lustybeg Island ('Little Lodge').
Nearby is Boa Island whose Caldragh cemetery has a carved Janus type figure. A second figure was brought to Caldragh in 1939 from Lustymore Island.
In the early 20th century, Lady Hunt from Alberta, Canada owned both Lustymore and Lustybeg islands. When her residence, Glenvar House, accidentally burned down, she moved to Germany.
