Ballinamallard is a
model village located in the heartland of rural Fermanagh, some six
miles from the bustling market town of Enniskillen in the scenic
north-west of the lakeland county. It is immediately obvious to the
visitor that this is a particularly neat and well maintained village
that has a very clean and fresh feel to it. This has been recognised
by the award of several ‘Best Kept Village’ titles, and the
dedication of a fountain to mark the honour.
Like almost all of Fermanagh’s towns and villages, water is never
too far away from you in Ballinamallard, with Erne tributaries
flowing through and around the village. It is particularly noted for
its trout fishing.
Ballinamallard contains many family businesses. In the 1970s the
Development Association initiated some useful projects. The old
Great Northern Railway station was restored to become the Rascal’s
Playstation, a purpose-built child care centre, while the Commons
was transformed into a children’s playground. Ballinamallard’s best
known family are the Fishers, whose firm, Fisher Engineering, has
brought substantial employment to the village |
