Discover Belturbet

Historically one of the best places for crossing the River Erne. Capital of the Kingdom of East Breifne in 1256. Also, known as the very last town in Ireland to fall to Cromwell.

Belturbet has a rich history and many heritage sites can still be viewed in the town. The Diamond was originally called Market Square. The Butter Market building is on Castle Hill. The weekly Court of Pye was held here every Saturday. It was also where dances and concerts were held. In 1927 the Market House was demolished and the present Town Hall was built on the site. The Orange Hall was built in 1874, and the Erne Cinema, later the Erne Palais Ballroom was built in 1947, both at the junction of Deanery St and Holborn Hill.
