PLACES OF INTEREST


  • Cappagh Mountain - The village is located on a hillside and immediately behind it stands Cappagh Mountain (948Ft). The area around Cappagh has fine mountain scenery where the land is a mixture of rural pastures and bog. These bog and peat lands still provide turf for the older generation of the area.

  • Travelling towards Altmore on the right hand side of the road is King James's Well . A little further on was once a small house that occupied some of the finest miniature model houses and castles in Northern Ireland.

  • Cappagh Monument - In the middle of the village is a monument to local people who died during The Troubles . It features a stone figure of a soldier, in front of a number of stone plaques commemorating various aspects of the conflict, such as the Hunger Strike Of 1981 , local Republicans who died. The focal point is the plaque for the " Loughgall Martyrs " - who were eight men who died in one incident during the conflict. Four from the area of Cappagh itself.

  • Old School - A single building inscribed with ‘old school’ is situated away from the main road. Now converted into a home, it catered for the education needs for children of the surrounding area during the 1930s and 1940s .
