Caledon

Caledon is a designated Conservation area, located in south-eastern Tyrone on the border with County Armagh. The village has its own heritage trail which helps you explore the many historical buildings and landmarks. Just outside the village is the private estate of Lord Caledon which boasts herds of red deer and many fine old estate houses. On the main road from Caledon to Armagh, the Gate Lodge marks the entrance to the estate, includes several ornamental features and pinnacles while on the opposite side stands a Dredge Bridge designed in 1839. Today the bridge provides pedestrian access to a small picnic area on the side of the Blackwater River. Download a copy of Caledon’s Heritage Trail
