In & Around Ballyconnell

Directions

In & Around Ballyconnell Ballyconnell is a Town steeped in History. There are several pages, each representing one aspect of Ballyconnell.

It's mentioned in the same breath as some of the beloved Heroes and Heroines we learn about in our schools.We are located in the Border area to the North of Ireland As a new Resident, I would like to contribute to the Community a page which incorporates all of what Ballyconnell has to offer on one page.. Please feel free to share your events, your story and/or pictures. No more than any other Town and Village in the Country, this Town too is made up of Light and Shade. However we will be focussing a lot more on the Light than the shade because that is exactly what there is more of.
