About County Tyrone

The wild and desolate beauty of County Tyrone, the largest county in Northern Ireland, enchants the visitor: from the great heights of the heathery Sperrin Mountains, the landscape tumbles down into farms and woodland, bog and moorland, inhabited by badgers and sparrowhawks, while the land itself is peppered with stone circles and quaint villages. The perfect place to go for culture vultures on a romantic break, it is choc-a-bloc with things-to-do: whether you're hang gliding above the peaks of the Sperrin Mountains, checking out the local handicrafts scene, cycling along the Forest and River Trail or exploring ancient stone circles, you are bound to fall for this untamed and beautiful region.
