Explore Omagh & the Sperrins Region...
From idyllic country walks, to soaking up the local culture, the Omagh and Sperrins Region offers an abundance of activities and must-see attractions that will keep the entire family amused. The nearby Ulster American Folk Park is one of Northern Ireland’s top visitor attractions, a unique outdoor museum which chronicles the story of the thousands of emigrants who left Ireland for the New World in the 18th and 19th centuries. Uncover the landscape’s rich heritage in detail at An Creagán Visitor Centre, designed to reflect the archaeological sites of the area. Explore the interpretive exhibition and craft shop. Take a walk in the past by visiting the Abingdon Collection with its range of classic cars, motorcycles, memorabilia, military antiques and collectables.
There is an eclectic range of events taking place across Omagh and the Sperrins region over the coming months that promise to keep every visitor, from every age-group, entertained. Toe-tap the night away at the Mellon Country Inn Hotel every Wednesday in August at the Trad Music Sessions in O’Brien’s Bar or put on those dancing shoes for what’s set to be a sensational Summer Country Cabaret on 23 August. Experience the ‘Friday Night Country Dance Series’ every Friday at the Silverbirch Hotel with huge country stars such as Jimmy Buckley, Johnny Brady & Derek Ryan gracing the stage throughout August & September. If a memorable festival appeals to you, why not explore local craft gin, rum, beer, cider, whiskey at the North West Brew Fest Craft Drinks Festival held in the Silverbirch Hotel 22 September. Festival goers will have the opportunity to taste for themselves a collection of craft drinks that have been hand crafted and locally made as well as meeting first hand some of the characters behind the ever growing Irish brewing scene while enjoying live entertainment! Speaking of live entertainment, get down to Main Street Omagh for a Summer Gig with acts such as Klass and The Whistlin’ Donkeys throughout many dates in August!
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.
