Fintona
Fintona, a small market town southwest of Omagh, is best known for its strong equestrian traditions and close-knit community. Once home to a horse-drawn tram, one of the last of its kind in Ireland, Fintona has always had a unique character. Today, the town is proud of its equestrian facilities and continues to be associated with horse breeding and racing, drawing enthusiasts from across the region. Its heritage is reflected in local landmarks, places of worship, and community halls that tell the story of a town rooted in tradition yet open to change.
Surrounded by gentle countryside, Fintona offers opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying the tranquility of rural Tyrone. The town centre, though modest, provides essential services, welcoming shops, and friendly pubs that act as social hubs. Community events and sporting activities, particularly Gaelic games, strengthen the bonds between residents. Fintona’s appeal lies in its authenticity: a town where heritage, rural charm, and modern life coexist harmoniously. For visitors seeking a taste of genuine small-town Northern Ireland, Fintona delivers a warm and memorable experience.
