If wide open spaces and unspoilt natural beauty takes your fancy, Omagh & the Sperrins region is the ideal place for getting away from it all. As Northern Ireland’s largest least explored mountain range, the Sperrins offer the perfect escape for walkers and those who enjoy the great outdoors. You can explore it via four scenic driving routes which will take you through glens, deep valleys with picturesque lakes and rich archaeological landscapes.

The region’s natural blend of peaks, forests, moors, valleys, lakes and rivers makes it an obvious favourite for walkers and ramblers. Spanning 40 miles, the Sperrins mountain range is the largest in Ireland. Walkers can expect undulating hills covered in heather, quiet valleys, boggy uplands and a land teeming with wildlife. In the heart of the Sperrins, Gortin Glen Forest Park is a mass of coniferous woodland with different walks and graded off-road cycling routes.
