County Tyrone

The historic County Tyrone occupies a vast part of western Ulster, between the Sperrin Mountains, the agricultural valleys inland and the western shores of Lough Neagh. It stands out for its rural landscapes, prehistoric heritage and strong local identity.

Understanding County Tyrone

Tyrone no longer corresponds to a single contemporary local authority. Its historic territory is now divided among several districts, notably Fermanagh and Omagh, Mid Ulster and Derry City and Strabane.

The Sperrin Mountains

The north of the county is marked by the Sperrins, a range of hills and valleys extending towards Derry. Hiking, scenic roads and peatland landscapes are among the territory’s main natural attractions.

Omagh, Cookstown and Mid Ulster

Omagh is one of the main centres in the west, while Cookstown serves as the main hub of the eastern part. These towns mainly serve as bases for exploring the surrounding countryside and historic sites.

Ancient heritage and rural landscapes

Stone circles, prehistoric tombs, former estates and villages are scattered throughout the county. To the east, the landscapes gradually open out towards Lough Neagh.
