About

The Augher and Clogher ward encompasses a rural landscape of small settlements and farmland in the south of Mid Ulster. The area is centred on the historic villages of Augher and Clogher, the latter giving its name to the wider diocese. The terrain is characterised by rolling drumlins and is drained by tributaries of the River Blackwater. Agriculture remains a primary land use, with a mix of pasture and arable farming defining the visual character of the countryside between the main population centres.

Clogher is a site of significant ecclesiastical history, being one of the oldest Christian bishoprics in Ireland. The village is dominated by St. Macartan's Cathedral, which stands on a hill overlooking the surrounding lowlands. The area's historical importance is also marked by the presence of Augher Castle, a 17th-century plantation castle. The local economy is supported by farming and related services, with the villages functioning as hubs for their surrounding rural communities.
