Cookstown
Cookstown in County Tyrone serves as a regional hub between Lough Neagh and the Sperrin Mountains. The A29 connects it to Belfast (113km), Dublin (78km), and other major centres, though there's no railway so you'll need to drive. Founded during the 1620s Plantation by Dr. Alan Cooke, it became a major linen town processing local flax. The main street runs dead straight for over a mile, making it one of Ireland's longest and wide enough for multiple traffic lanes in each direction.
