Strabane, historically spelt Straban, is a town in West Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It was the headquarters of the former Strabane District Council. Strabane has a population of around 18,000, which is predominantly nationalist.
It is the second-largest town in Tyrone, after Omagh. It lies on the east bank of the River Foyle and is roughly equidistant from Omagh, Derry City and Letterkenny. The River Foyle marks the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. On the other side of the river (across Lifford Bridge) is the smaller town of Lifford, which is the county town of County Donegal. The Mourne flows through the centre of the town, and meets the Finn to form the Foyle River.
In the 20th century, Strabane garnered the dubious distinction of the highest unemployment rate in the Industrial World, during the height of The Troubles. It is one of the most economically deprived towns in the United Kingdom. Huge economic damage occurred in 1987 when much of the town centre flooded.
The Irish gauge 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway (L&ER) reached Strabane in 1847, The Finn Valley Railway (FV) opened from Strabane to Stranorlar in 1863.[10][12] The FV was originally Irish gauge but in 1892 it merged with the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge West Donegal Railway (WD) to form the Donegal Railway.
In 1792, the 4 miles (6.4 km) Strabane Canal was built from the tidal waters of Lough Foyle at Leck, to Strabane. It fell into disuse in 1962. In June 2006 the Strabane Lifford Development Commission awarded a £1.3m cross-border waterways restoration contract. The project was launched by President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, in Lifford and involves the restoration of 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of canal and two locks to working order.
The National Trust owns a Strabane shop in which John Dunlap learnt the printing trade. Dunlap went on to print the United States Declaration of Independence. The house has been visited by several famous people, including former US President Bill Clinton. It is located at the end of the Main Street.Which is now a classic cafe.
Dergalt, the ancestral home of Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, is near Strabane. Strabane is twinned with Zeulenroda-Triebes in the state of Thuringia, Germany.
( Strabane - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Strabane . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Strabane - UK

10 Best Places to Live in Northern Ireland
What are the best cities to live in Northern Ireland? We don’t often hear about Northern Ireland as much as we do the three other provinces because it’s the least discussed. If the 4 nations making the kingdom are ranked in order of popularity, we could go like England, Scotland, and, Wales. That’s why many people don’t have an idea of what living in Northern Ireland, the fourth province of the UK is. This time, we want to discuss the 10 best places to live in Northern Ireland.
This will prove that the part of Ireland that remained in the UK since 1921 is not faring badly at all. Please enjoy the discussion about the best places to live in Northern Ireland.
10. Newtownards
Newtownards is a town, townland, and civil parish in County Down. It’s not far from Strangford Lough, another one of the best places to live in Northern Ireland that would be discussed later. Newtownards is at the northernmost tip of Strangford Lough. It is also 10 miles east of Belfast on the Ards Peninsula.
When Newtownards hit the headline on July 17, 2021, it was about the townland of Ballywatticock toward Mount Stewart, where temperature peaked 31.2 °C at 15:40. Besides that, it has a very low crime rate. The town has a lot of beautiful spots that can add colors to the quality of life. Places such as Movilla Abbey, Somme Heritage Center, and Mount Stewart attract people to this town. The town’s residents are also entertained by sporting activities such as rugby, cricket, football, and motor racing. It is one of the best places to live in Northern Ireland.
9. Fermanagh
Ireland's Lakeland County of Fermanagh is the next of the 10 best places to live in Northern Ireland. It’s one of the six counties of the region, bordering the Republic. The county is renowned for its boating and fishing. Once a legendary dry plain, Fermanagh was believed to have magic well at its center with widely held tales of two lovers. Of course, the story around it makes the county. The lakes of Lough Erne stretching through 50 miles over the county were believed to result from bubbles from the water.
If you live in Fermanagh, you’ll be living in the roots of some famous people, including writer Rudyard Kipling and former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Ulysses Grant. Enniskillen, which we shall talk about later, is the county town of Fermanagh. You don’t generally hear about crime here and the cozy place has enough amenities.
8. Ballycastle
Let’s next consider Ballycastle, a small seaside town in County Antrim. Deriving its name from the Irish expression “Baile an Chaistil,” the “town of the castle” is on the north-easternmost coastal tip of the region of the United Kingdom. Its harbor plays host to the ferry to Rathlin Island quite visible from the coast.
Anyone living in Northern Ireland and desires a harbor town to live near the coast should consider living in Ballycastle. If you’ve ever heard anything about the best places to live in Northern Ireland, you’ll realize that Ballycastle is frequently mentioned in such lists. According to The Sunday Times, this seaside town is one of five places in Northern Ireland considered the best places to live in Britain. The publication crowns it as actually the best place to live in the province. It receives accolades for offering a better quality of life to the majority of the residents in areas of education, health, crime control, and house prices.

8 Worst Towns to Live in Northern Ireland
Let us put it in the right context before we take it so far. The expression “worst towns” here is going to be subjective and relative. This is because Northern Ireland is a generally good place to live. Regardless of how good a region is, however, some parts of it will be better than others. On the other hand, those parts of the region that are not regarded as the best are in that context not so good. And if all of the parts of a region are just good, the “least good” among them is invariably the worst. It is in that sense that we now want to show you the 8 worst towns to live in Northern Ireland.
8. Ballymena
Let’s begin with Ballymena, a large town in County Antrim. The town with a population of more than 29,000 is the 8th-largest town in the region by population. But it’s also one of the worst towns to live in Northern Ireland. Gone are those days when the town was prosperous and when a lot of factories were providing job opportunities.
The town has now suffered from a gripping recession that not only deterred investment in manufacturing but also stressed out existing shopping centers. Though some attempts have been made to rejuvenate the town economically, the unemployment rate is still very high. The shopping centers are no longer bustling as they used to be due to badly reduced purchasing power and low demands in the town. Besides, there are several rough areas such as Harryville in the town. Generally, the town that hosts 7 towers lacks prosperity, though it’s one of the safest places to live for people with legitimate business dealings.
7. Lurgan
Lurgan is another large town on this list. It is in County Armagh near the southern shore of Lough Neagh. The town is located about 18 miles southwest of Belfast having been linked together by the M1 motorway. Additionally, the Belfast-Dublin railway line serves this town with a population of 28,634 within the Armagh, Banbridge, and Craigavon districts.
Even then, it is one of the worst towns. It is divided along the religious line, no thanks to the housing anomaly. This is especially apparent in its worst part. Many of the people born in the town would prefer not to live there if they are not landlords. Houses there are usually up for buying to own not to rent. That is why it’s not a good place to live in Northern Ireland for foreigners. You will get rental areas only on Ardboe Drive and Trasna Way. But in Pollock Drive and Grey Estate, you’re in for a completely different experience.
6. Strabane
We’re now in County Tyrone to find the town named Strabane. Lying on the east bank of the Foyle River, it had a population of 13,172. It is located roughly midway from Omagh, Derry, and Letterkenny. Strabane is also on this list of the 8 worst towns to live in Northern Ireland.
Strabane has remained stuck to that unpopular tag not only in NI but also in the UK as a whole. For instance, out of 317 local authority areas in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, it is the 8th worst to live, according to the research carried out by Channel 4. The research measured 5 criteria homebuyers always consider namely crime, education, employment, environment, and lifestyle. The town performed woefully in all of them. It has been ranking badly for livability for years on end.

Places to see in ( Derry - UK )
Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland. It’s known for the intact 17th-century Derry’s Walls with 7 gates. Within the walls, spired St. Columb’s Cathedral displays artefacts from the 1688–9 Siege of Derry. Near the Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum has city views and historical exhibits. Huge stained-glass windows adorn the neo-Gothic red sandstone Guildhall.
Derry is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland. The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Old Irish name Daire (modern Irish: Doire) meaning oak grove. In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry, Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.
The old walled city lies on the west bank of the River Foyle, which is spanned by two road bridges and one footbridge. The city now covers both banks (Cityside on the west and Waterside on the east). The district administered by Derry City and Strabane District Council contains both Londonderry Port and City of Derry Airport.
Derry is close to the border with County Donegal, with which it has had a close link for many centuries. The person traditionally seen as the founder of the original Derry is Saint Colmcille, a holy man from Tír Chonaill, the old name for almost all of modern County Donegal, of which the west bank of the Foyle was a part before 1610. In 2013, Derry was the inaugural UK City of Culture, having been awarded the title in 2010.

Places to see in ( Omagh - UK )
Omagh is the county town of County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Omagh is situated where the rivers Drumragh and Camowen meet to form the Strule. Northern Ireland's capital city Belfast is 68 miles to the east of Omagh, and Derry is 34 miles to the north.
Omagh contains the headquarters of the Western Education and Library Board, and also houses offices for the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development at Sperrin House, the Department for Regional Development and the Northern Ireland Roads Service at the Tyrone County Hall and the Northern Ireland Land & Property Services at Boaz House. The town is twinned with L'Haÿ-les-Roses, a town in the suburbs of Paris, France.
The town sprang up within the townland of Omagh, in the parish of Drumragh. Over time, the urban area has spread into the surrounding townlands. The Ulster American Folk Park near Omagh includes the cottage where Thomas Mellon was born in 1813, before emigrating to Pennsylvania, in the United States when he was five. His son Andrew W. Mellon became secretary of the US Treasury. The park is an open-air museum that explores the journey made by the Irish (specifically those from Ulster) to America during the 1800s.
The Gortin Glens Forest Park, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north of Omagh is a large forest with many attractions, including a deer enclosure and many areas of natural beauty, including waterfalls, lakes, etc. Strule Arts Centre opened in 2007 is good example of urban renewal in Omagh town centre. Creating a modern civic building, in a newly created public space reclaimed from the formerly disused area, between the River Strule and High Street.
Omagh boasts over 20 playgrounds for children, and a large amount of green open area for all the public. The largest of these is the Grange Park, located near the town centre. Many areas around the meanders of the River Strule have also been developed into open areas. Omagh Leisure Complex is a large public amenity, near the Grange Park and is set in 11 hectares (27 acres) of landscaped grounds and features a leisure centre, boating pond, astroturf pitch and cycle paths.
Neither the town nor the district of Omagh has any railway service. Bus Services in Omagh are operated by Ulsterbus. Omagh is the main retail centre for Tyrone, as well as the West of Ulster (behind Derry and Letterkenny), due to its central location. In the period 2000–2003, over £80 million was invested in Omagh, and 60,960 m2 (656,200 sq ft) of new retail space was created. Shopping areas in Omagh include the Main Street Mall, Great Northern Road Retail Park and the Showgrounds Retail Park on Sedan Avenue in the town centre. Market Street/High Street is also a prominent shopping street, which includes popular high street stores such as DV8 and Primark.

Ugliest Cities in the UK – Londonderry
Today, we shall continue our exploration of the ugliest cities in the UK. And this takes us nowhere else but Londonderry. No, we’re not doing a rundown of the county. We’re only focusing on a city there. Many people say Londonderry is ugly. We wanted to see how true their assertions are. Our diligent fact-checking of all that’s in the public domain about this county shows that Derry has features that bring it close to the rank of the ugliest city in the UK. We’re going to share our findings with you in this video for your consideration and observation. As you enjoy it, please don’t forget to tell us what you feel about Derry in the comment section.
The County Londonderry
County Londonderry is one of the 6 counties of Northern Ireland, the 9 counties of Ulster, and one of the 32 in the entire Ireland. It was one of the counties in the Kingdom of Ireland from 1613 onward before the partition of Ireland and after the portioning of the United Kingdom following the Acts of Union 1800. This county near the northwest shore of Lough Neagh occupies an area of 818 square miles. It has a population of about 247,132.
Londonderry just like the other counties in Northern Ireland has since 1972 ceased being used by the state in the local government administration. And after further reforms that took place in 2015, Londonderry came to be governed by three districts Derry and Strabane, Causeway Coast and Glens, and Mid-Ulster. Though no longer used for local government and administration, Londonderry is sometimes used in a cultural context such as in All-Ireland sporting and cultural events like Derry GAA. The County Londonderry flower is the purple saxifrage.
About the City of Derry
One of the cities in this county is Derry. Also known officially as Londonderry, it’s the second-largest city in Northern Ireland, the 5th-largest city on the island of Ireland, and the largest in the county. Derry is on the west bank of the River Foyle, spanned by one footbridge and two road bridges. Today, the city covers both banks. It has a population of about 100,000 (83,652) while the Derry Urban Area has a population of 110,000 (90,736) and it’s under the administration of Derry City and Strabane District Council which has both Londonderry Port and City of Derry Airport.
Derry is close to the border of the neighboring County Donegal which has had a close link with County Londonderry for many centuries. The person traditionally credited with the founding of the original Derry is Saint Colmcille from Tír Chonaill. The city was in 2013 the inaugural UK City of Culture, the title it was awarded in 2010. There is some controversy in the naming of this city. So don’t get confused when you hear it being referred to as Londonderry. While unionists generally prefer to call it “Londonderry,” nationalists love its name as “Derry.”
Unfortunately, It’s Rated Ugly
With this in mind, let’s now get to the business of the day and see why many people are of the opinion that Londonderry is ugly. Derry was rated in a late 2022 study as the ugliest place to live in the UK. The study was carried out by Atlas Ceramics which analyzed several factors. Paramount among those factors are the number of boutique hotels, buildings and monuments listed, and interior designers and architecture in each UK destination. Of course, all of these are what combine to beautify a city.
While giving an insight into the raking of the city, the judges explained that Derry lands itself the unfortunate title because its building and streets lack the glamor attracting tourists. This Northern Irish city is the least aesthetic of all cities of its size and population in the UK. In the index used by the judges, it scored 1.79/10, no thanks to its interior designers that are lowest on the list. And these play a crucial role in creating and curating aesthetics for a city. When it gets to architects and listed buildings and monuments, it finds a place in the bottom three.

12 Worst Towns in the UK – My Subscriber's List
When I released my video about the worst towns in the United Kingdom, I knew the reaction would naturally be great. That’s why I didn’t expend so much energy calling for your comments on that sizzling topic. What I didn’t know was how passionate your comments would be. I pretty soon realized how passionate some of my subscribers were about those towns, on the list. Some believed that I omitted some towns that were actually worse than the ones in my video. Others thought some of those towns aren’t as bad as portrayed. By popular demand, I’ve attempted to scrutinize the separate listings from my subscribers and I present the following as the commonest 12 worst towns in the UK.
12. Coalville, England
Almost all of my subscribers agree that Coalville, an industrial town in the district of North West Leicestershire, in the East Midlands of England, is one of the worst towns in the UK. Located on the A511 trunk road, it’s between Leicester and Burton-upon-Trent. It’s also close to junction 22 of the M1 motorway. That’s the point where the A511 meets the A50 when you’re between Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Leicester.
The town which was once a mining town hasn’t come out of its past even after all the pits have closed. The end of the coal business turns the Coal-village into a ghost town as shops are leaving the town as if it just came out of a depressive decade-long recession.
11. Strabane, Northern Ireland
Strabane in Northern Ireland also features on my subscribers’ list. The town on the east bank of the Foyle River which is roughly in the middle of Omagh, Derry, and Letterkenny, in Tyrone County, has held on to its infamous tag as one of the worst places to live in the UK. It recently came 8th worst place out of 434 local authority areas throughout the UK in popular research. Using the criteria such as home-buying, environment, crime, education, employment, and lifestyle, Strabane hasn’t come out of the extensive damage it suffered between the 1970s and the 1990s when it was one of the most bombed towns in Europe.
10. Scunthorpe, England
The next town featuring on my subscribers’ list is Scunthorpe, a large industrial town in North Lincolnshire in Lincolnshire, England. I was sure no one would disagree with the inclusion of Scunthorpe which is the UK’s largest steel processing center on this list. In a recent online vote, it was voted the 4th worst place to live in the UK. Many of my subscribers mentioned the horror of entering, visiting, or living in this third largest settlement in Lincolnshire. Some others were pissed off by the sites of litter on the street filled with the air polluted by the steelwork.
9. Blackpool, England
Blackpool was also sure to be on lists like this. I’ve not received any solid criticism for listing Blackpool as one of the worst towns in the UK. The large town and a seaside resort in Lancashire in England has every reason to be here. The employment situation in the town has remained bad since 2015 when only 65 percent of the people there were employed. This invariably lowers the gross income of the people. Meanwhile, house prices and the general cost of living aren't correspondingly low. Expectedly, life expectancy there is relatively low by the UK standard.

What’s in LondonDerry | ROAD TRIP UK and IRELAND
#londonderry #galway #FORTYFOURnorth
Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland. It’s known for the intact 17th-century Derry’s Walls with 7 gates. Within the walls, spired St. Columb’s Cathedral displays artefacts from the 1688–9 Siege of Derry. Near the Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum has city views and historical exhibits. Huge stained-glass windows adorn the neo-Gothic red sandstone Guildhall.
Generally, although not always, nationalists favour using the name Derry, and unionists Londonderry. Legally, the city and county are called Londonderry, while the local government district containing the city is called Derry City and Strabane.
We stayed at 44 Northland Rd, Londonderry BT48 7ND, United Kingdom. A very handy place! Near to anything you would need. :)
Cheers for watching guys! :)
