Moving house in Northern Ireland: Clogher Valley

Posted on: Wednesday, July 19, 2023


The Clogher Valley is a beautiful collection of small villages in Northern Ireland. With excellent commuter links and fantastic amenities, there is so much to explore. Here is our guide to the Clogher Valley.

Why the Clogher Valley?

The Clogher Valley Area is a collection of small villages that offers the benefits of country living with excellent commuter links to larger towns nearby such as Omagh, Dungannon, Armagh, Enniskillen and Monaghan. The area is a delightful gateway to Mid Ulster and is not only the perfect rural retreat with exceptional natural beauty, but it has good local schools and local shops, leisure facilities, cafes and bars. If you are seeking opportunities to socialise, there are numerous local clubs, societies, and sports organisations where you can actively participate.

Dominated by Knockmany Hill, the area offers an abundance of beautiful places including Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty for you to discover. The area offers quaint countryside walks including the Carleton Trail, a lovely walking route which stretches 30 miles and takes you through sleepy villages, country lanes and lush green landscapes, rich in local history, architecture and fantastic viewpoints, all while paying homage to 19th Century novelist, William Carleton.

Knockmany Forest is very popular amongst mountain bikers, but the main attraction in the forest is the tomb of the ancient Irish Queen Áine, located at the top of the cairn and offering breathtaking views. Other beautiful spots include Lumford’s Glen, St Patricks Chair and Well and Favour Royal Forest.

If you would rather ditch the walking for some pampering, visit the local 4-star Corick House Hotel and Spa, or the Lavender Health Spa for a treatment of your choice.

Colin Moran from Property People in Clogher Valley says: “If you would like to get away from living in the larger towns and cities but still need to be a short drive away, the Clogher Valley offers a slower-paced lifestyle and an opportunity to be a part of the local community. It is a place where families become neighbours and friends. Where the community comes together to enjoy the good times and is there to lend a hand through the more difficult times. It is a place where you can become a part of the fabric of the area. This area offers much more than the opportunity of owning a property, it is a place to live, grow, and connect with the area and the people within it. As someone who moved into the area from the city, I can personally advocate the benefits of moving to the Clogher Valley.”

 

Visiting Omagh

Less than a 30-minute drive from Clogher Valley, Omagh is a lovely town where the rivers Drumragh and Camowen meet to form the Stule. Whether you’d prefer to spend your day perusing artwork in the Strule Arts Centre, explore the walking trails in Gortin Glen Forest Park, or enjoy a family day out at J’s Playhouse, there are lots to explore in Omagh.

 

Visiting Dungannon

Dungannon is another great destination and is also located less than a 30-minute drive from Clogher Valley. Dungannon is the third-largest town in County Tyrone and is known today as a market town producing linens and cut crystals. There is plenty to do in Dungannon, particularly when it comes to scenic walks.

I would highly recommend Hardings Estate Agents. They have excellent knowledge of Windsor and the surrounding areas, and are extremely professional, responsive and courteous. I would not hesitate to using them again the future. I recently dealt with Milica who was instrumental in securing us our new home in Windsor as well as the sale of our existing property. She was a fab negotiator and a real pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Thank you!

Hardings of Windsor managed our purchase with complete professionalism and went over and above in my opinion to manage the transaction and chain, resulting in a really smooth purchase. Milica at Hardings constantly provided timely updates and managed respective solicitors and the chain effectively, always responding quickly to queries. The whole transaction would not have happened without Milicas' focus on making all parties comfortable and satisfying all queries, not only professional but a delightful and welcoming personal approach that was a constant throughout. Thanks Hardings! Thanks Milica!

I would recommend using Hardings estate agents when buying or selling your property. Dominic (Scully) was always available, helpful and genuinely interested in my purchase and always calm and compassionate. If I ever move again my first choice will be Hardings.

Dom and the team at Hardings were so helpful and efficient when I purchased my flat - friendly and professional service and kept us up-to-date the whole way through the process. It was my first time buying and so was very nervous but they helped me feel at ease.

I used Hardings when I bought my property as well as when I sold it and the service has been fantastic both times. I very much recommend Hardings!

Therese Jouini

We recently purchased our new home with Hardings Estate Agents. The whole team there were very helpful and flexible with us, arranging viewings quickly on the same day. They were always quick to respond and if ever our point of contact was not there, the service did not change as they work well together as a team. We received a personalised service, which allowed the sale to proceed quickly. Thank you all and we recommend Hardings Estate Agents without hesitation.

What a pleasure it was to deal with Milica from Hardings. She sourced the perfect property for me and my family (while we were still abroad) and worked endlessly to put the deal together. I would give more than 5 stars if at all possible!
