Explore Omagh & The Sperrins

With its wide open spaces and unspoilt natural beauty, the Omagh & Sperrins Region is an ideal place for getting away from it all. As Northern Irelandโ€™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 routes which will take your through glens, deep valleys with picturesque lakes and rich archaeological landscapes. Home to the world famous Ulster American Folk Park, it is no surprise that many visitors wish to trace their ancestors and find out more about the Irish diaspora.

The bustling market town of Omagh is nestled in the heart of Co Tyrone, on the footsteps of the regionโ€™s famed Sperrin Mountains and Gortin Lakes; the regionโ€™s romantic landscapes, rich history and heritage, rugged countryside, and the great outdoors make it the perfect base for your break.
