Belleek is a village in the west of County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland on the River Erne. It straddles the border with County Donegal, the majority of Belleek being in Fermanagh, but a small part is in the Republic of Ireland.
Nowadays Belleek is a thriving market town with a variety of pubs, shops, restaurants and a hotel.
