1064. Fivemiletown

Fivemiletown is so called because it is 5 Irish miles from the villages of Clogher, Brookeborough and Tempo (1 Irish mile = 2,240yd). Its simple parish church was built in the same year as St Jame's in Aughnacloy (1736). Old photographs showing the railway running down the middle of the main street are displayed in the library. Ask here for directions to houses where lace is made - a local cottage industry.

1067. Moy

Moy was laid out in the 1760s for the Volunteer Earl - the patriot and aesthete James Caulfield, Earl of Charlemont (1728-99) - opposite Charlemont Fort across the Blackwater. The formal rectangular market place, with lawns and horse-chestnut trees, was inspired by the square at Marengo in Lombardy, admired by the arty young earl during his grand tour of Europe. Houses round the sides are mostly eighteenth-century though all the four churches are later. A local riding school is the last vestige of the days of the great Moy horse fair, held once a month and lasting a whole week. For over 100 years, Moy supplied the best cavalry and carriage horses in the British Isles.
