Begin your Strabane walking tour at Market Square, the lively heart of this historic Tyrone town, where you can enjoy a hearty lunch at The Coffee House on Main Street. This cosy café serves up classic Ulster dishes like homemade soups or soda bread with local butter, affordable, no bookings needed, but arrive early to beat the Saturday lunch crowd.
Stroll along Railway Street to Gray’s Printing Press, a 18th-century gem tied to John Dunlap, printer of the American Declaration of Independence, its old presses evoking the timeless charm of a historical painting. From there, wander up Abercorn Square to The Alley Arts and Conference Centre, a cultural hub showcasing local art and heritage, perfect for a quick creative pause.
Next, head towards Castle Street and pop into The Café at the Alley for a rich hot chocolate or artisan coffee. If you’re after something more upscale, The Oaktree Restaurant at the Fir Trees Hotel on Dublin Road offers refined dining with local ingredients in a polished setting.
Finish your walk by looping to Strabane Canal, accessible via a short stroll to Greenlaw Road, where a tranquil towpath by the River Foyle offers a serene end to your tour. Take a moment at Devine’s Lock, where an interpretative panel details the canal’s 1796 history. This 1-2 mile route captures Strabane’s historic charm, local eats, and scenic beauty.
