Tips from the Community
Head South down the lane to find Necarne Castle. Also known as Castle Irvine, Necarne Castle was built in the 17th century as part of the plantation of Ulster. In 1831, Irish novelist and playwright John B. Keane designed the beautiful two-storey facade which gives the castle its Victorian image. The castle passed through the hands of various owners before being requisitioned by the United Stats army in 1941. It functioned as a military hospital during the Second World War before falling into ruin. Over the last decades, the castle was used by Enniskillen Agricultural College. However, it now stands empty once again and is up for sale. You can't visit the interior of the castle, but you can freely visit the lovely parklands and admire the building from afar.

The Lover's Retreat is a beautiful spot, home to nesting herons. Some say it's name is taken from the lovers who used to hide within the branches of the weeping willow. There is also often a coffee van here which adds to its allure for cyclists pedaling through Omagh. It is also popular with dog walkers so be sure to keep an eye out for four legged friends.

Steeple built in 1734 is all that remains of an 18th century rebuilding of a 17th century church. The graveyard dates to the 17th century and has wheelchair access but you will need a key from the grave keeper. More information at the Irvinestown library.
