Visit Fintona, Co. Tyrone.
If you really want to experience the full flavour of this area visit Fintona, a small village situated 8 miles south of Omagh.
It was the O'Neill stronghold in the 15th and 16th centuries but its history dates back to 2000 BC. There are many examples of pagan centres, burial places, standing stones, stone circles and cairns dotted around the area. The drive alone to Fintona from Omagh is worth the journey as marshland gives way to a fertile valley.
