Tyrone


The main activity of people in County Tyrone is farming. Tyrone's plantation towns don't have many tourist attractions, but the county has two of the best outdoor museums in Ireland, which are worth visiting even if you aren't particularly interested in ancient Ireland or Irish emigration to America.

The county is scattered with hundreds of relics of Neolithic and monastic Ireland in the form of dolmens, standing stones, cairns and crosses. The Beaghmore stone circles and the High Crosses of Ardboe and Donaghmore are the most interesting of these.

Most of Tyrone is made up of low lying farmland but the attractive Sperrin Mountain range in the north and the raised bogs around it are wild, beautiful and challenging for walkers and cyclists.
