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 />
