One of the most beautiful of Ireland's inland counties. Tyrone has a fine variety of scenery, mountains and gentle hills, glens and river valleys, moorland and little plains. This is a wild yet welcoming land of forests, mountains and a rich historic heritage. For a change of pace, savour the atmosphere of busy towns such as Omagh, Dungannon and Cookstown. In the north-west of Ireland, it's capital is Omagh, outside of which the Ulster Heritage Folk Park, which attracts thousands of visitors annually, tracing their ancestry or marveling at the realistic recreations of homes and implements which made up life in the past centuries in this area. Set sail on a voyage of discovery where the story of our unique contribution to the New World is graphically encountered. Equally fascinating is the Ulster History Park which gives a close-up view of ancient Irish lifestyles. Similar in context to Williamsburg in Virginia, the folk park traces, among others, the lives of several US Presidents who hail from these northern counties. Several of the signatories to the US Constitution in 1776, were from this area! Copyright@Tyrone Self Catering Cottages |
