STRABANE
Strabane, located in the Northwest of Co. Tyrone straddles the border with Co. Donegal. The Strabane of modern times – thriving, lively and successful – belies a history of much emigration. Although its links with the past are well remembered it is a youthful and dynamic town which looks firmly forward. Its proximity to Derry and Donegal ensures its convenience both as a place of employment and also as a tourist destination.
The area offers extremely special scenery and is alive with music, culture and tradition. Amidst this beauty are excellent fishing rivers such as the River Mourne and the River Dennet and golfing enthusiasts are well catered for with three courses to choose from. One of Strabane’s most famous sons John Dunlap, who printed the American Declaration of Independence, learned his trade in Grays Printers in Main Street. The building still stands today and is now owned by the National Trust.
With its proximity to both Derry and Omagh the last couple of years has seen property prices in Strabane rise significantly. This trend is currently continuing with a healthy demand for both new and resale property.
