County Tyrone<br />
& The Sperrins<br />
The Sperrins are the largest and<br />
least explored mountain range<br />
in Northern Ireland and one of<br />
Ireland’s premiere eco-tourism<br />
destinations, with rivers teeming<br />
with life, mountains, valleys, forests,<br />
lakes and outdoor pursuits. With<br />
its scenic windswept hills, County<br />
Tyrone has a special appeal for<br />
walkers, who can then hang up<br />
their rucksacks in the Gortin Village<br />
hostel and relax after a day’s hiking<br />
in the congenial main street pubs.<br />
<strong>Visit</strong> the region’s newest attraction,<br />
Hill of The O’Neill & Ranfurly House<br />
Arts & <strong>Visit</strong>ors Centre - the hill from<br />
which the famous O’Neill dynasty<br />
ruled Gaelic Ireland for over 300<br />
years utilising a commanding<br />
360 degree view of Ulster. Don’t<br />
miss out on a trip to the Ulster<br />
American Folk Park, an outdoor<br />
museum which chronicles the story<br />
of emigration during the eighteenth<br />
and nineteenth centuries; bring<br />
to life the various aspects of the<br />
emigrant’s tale on both sides of the<br />
Atlantic. Whether you visit Todds<br />
Leap for an electrifying range of<br />
adrenaline pursuits, the Beaghmore<br />
Stone Circles for a glimpse into the<br />
area’s ancient past, relax with a<br />
holistic treatment at Angel Sanctuary<br />
Healing Centre, enjoy a hike in Drum<br />
Manor Forest Park or marvel at ‘The<br />
Tinnies’ in Strabane. One of Ireland’s<br />
literary giants, Seamus Heaney, came<br />
from the area and a new facility to<br />
showcase his life and works will open<br />
in September 2016 in Bellaghy, at<br />
the heart of the people and places<br />
which so inspired him. The Sperrins<br />
and County Tyrone make for an<br />
unforgettable experience.<br />
