The historic County Tyrone occupies a vast part of western Ulster, between the Sperrin Mountains, the inland agricultural valleys and the western shores of Lough Neagh. It stands out for its rural landscapes, prehistoric heritage and strong local identity.
Tyrone no longer corresponds to a single contemporary local authority. Its historic territory is now divided between several districts, notably Fermanagh and Omagh, Mid Ulster and Derry City and Strabane.
The north of the county is defined by the Sperrins, a range of hills and valleys extending towards Derry. Hiking, scenic routes and peatland landscapes are among the area’s main natural attractions.
Omagh is one of the main centres in the west, while Cookstown anchors the eastern part. These towns mainly serve as bases for exploring the countryside and historic sites.
Stone circles, prehistoric tombs, former estates and villages are scattered throughout the county. To the east, the landscapes gradually open out towards Lough Neagh.
Two days are enough to discover an area of the Sperrins and the county interior. A car is clearly preferable for exploring rural areas.
