Aughnacloy can be planned around several clearly defined interests: golf, the history of the McCreedy Mill Centre and listed buildings. Aughnacloy Golf Club combines a distinctive course format with a junior programme, while the mill and the listed buildings offer points of connection to industrial and architectural history.
Golf and walking
Aughnacloy Golf Club has a nine-hole parkland course with 18 different tee boxes. The two figures describe different features: nine holes define the course format, while the 18 tee boxes refer to different teeing points. It is therefore a nine-hole course, not an 18-hole course. The club also offers the “Get into Golf” junior programme for children aged 10 to 16. If this offer is important to your plans, confirm it again before booking. The age range is specified and can help you assess whether the programme could suit your travel plans.
The Sliabh Beagh Way is part of the Ulster Way. This provides a specific point of reference when planning a walk along the route.
The mill: from operation to renovation
The mill’s history can be set out chronologically. Robert McCreedy converted it into a motor-powered scutching mill in 1919. After it was later closed, the building was renovated in 1998 as part of a C.R.I.S.P. project. Today it is the McCreedy Mill Centre, managed by the Aughnacloy Development Association. The dates mark different stages: 1919 marks the conversion, while 1998 marks the renovation of the building after it had closed. The current name reflects this industrial history. Check separately whether it is open to the public before considering a visit.
Churches and listed buildings
The church became known as St. James in 1736. The Jackson Institute, also known as Copperfields Nursing Home, on Moore Street is listed as a Grade B1 building. The Methodist Church at 177 Moore Street is Grade B, and the Old Market House at 62–74 Moore Street is Grade B1. The Presbyterian Church on Caledon Road is Grade B. Also included is the original Railway Station building on Sidney Street, which is Grade B1. The three entries on Moore Street therefore also differ in their listed grades: Grade B for the Methodist Church and Grade B1 for the Jackson Institute and the Old Market House.
These offer different kinds of discovery: the golf course format and junior programme, a timeline of the mill’s history, and specific names, streets and grades for the buildings. You can decide which perspective matters most for your stay before looking for accommodation.
