Tyrone is packed with loads to do for families, groups of friends and couples alike. So, if your short break wishlist includes spectacular landscapes, cycling, trekking, observing the stars, a bit of history Tyrone is the place to go.
Explore the ancient Hill of The O’Neill at The Ranfurly House Arts and Visitor Centre or the spectacular Harry Avery’s Castle. It’s here that you’ll discover why County Tyrone’s nickname of ‘O’Neill Country’ has stuck.
Pretty fields criss-crossed with hedgerows, soft valleys and heather-clad hills with sweeping views; you’ll find them all in the Sperrin Mountains. Despite being one of Ireland’s largest upland areas (it stretches from Strabane in County Tyrone to the shores of Lough Neagh in the east) the Sperrins range is an undiscovered gem – wild, untouched and so beautiful it has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Tyrone is a great place to get and about and enjoy this beautiful area.
