Belcoo is a small
village in County Fermanagh, 12 miles from Enniskillen. It is
situated on the Fermanagh/ Cavan border beside the village of
Blacklion in the Republic of Ireland. The village is sandwiched by
Upper and Lower Lough Macnean and surrounded by mountains. In 1878 a
stationmaster’s house and six houses were built for railways workers
and their families and the following year the Sligo-Leitrim railway
line opened with the Belcoo station serving both Belcoo and
Blacklion. The line was so well run that local people began setting
their watches by the 6pm train.
Restoration, regeneration and concerns for the environment are the
hallmark of life in Belcoo. The Mullycovet corn mill, which
functioned from 1830 until the 1920s, is currently being restored.
