Follow Fintona's wide hilltop Main Street — one of Tyrone's oldest streets, grown from a 1431 stronghold — past its Victorian churches and halls to the site of the horse-drawn 'Fintona Fly' tram, the last of its kind in Ireland when it closed in 1957. Along the way, pause at the ruined 17th-century Donacavey churchyard and the former Eccles family demesne that shaped the town for three centuries. Looking for things to do in Fintona?
