Belleek

Belleek is a village in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. While the greater part of the village lies within County Fermanagh, part of it crosses the border into County Donegal, a part of Ulster that lies in the Republic of Ireland. This makes Belleek the western-most village in the United Kingdom.

Belleek is a thriving market town with a variety of pubs, shops, restaurants and a hotel. It is most famous for the fine parian China produced there at the Belleek Pottery, the oldest pottery in Ireland. The china is valued by collectors from all over the World. It is also a noted location for angling and other recreational activities and is now linked to the River Shannon by canal.

In earlier times Neolithic settlers appeared around the town and legend has it that Fionn mac Cumhail's men sharpened their swords on the big limestone rock at Belleek Falls.
