Time well spent this summer

Whether you have 24 or 48 hours to spend (or longer), your time will be well spent visiting Mid Ulster. With its central location within an hours’ drive from Belfast and Derry and easy reach from the south of Ireland, time won’t be wasted travelling here – you’ll be able to make the most of your time without hours in airports or stuck in city traffic!

Dive into a spring fed lake. Speed down zip lines, round karting tracks or bike through the peaks of the Sperrin Mountains. Stroll through ancient forests. Bed down in luxurious lodges or glamourous glamping and view far away galaxies under the darkest of dark skies.

Live 24 hours to the full

Start your time spent in Mid Ulster with thrills and spills at Todds Leap Outdoor Activity Centre. Choose from over 20 hair raising activities to get your blood pumping. Enjoy a hearty bite of food at the onsite restaurant, The Twisted Axle or head on to Knockmany Forest with a picnic and discover the Knockmany Tomb, said to be the home place of Finn McCool and his wife Oonagh.

When you’re done exploring, take a short drive to Round Lake in Fivemiletown to explore the lush lakeside before heading over the road to Blessingbourne to ride the exhilarating 13k Mountain Bike Trails and pump track designed by Phil Saxena.

Stay in the self-catering accommodation at Blessingbourne and take stroll into the town to discover the Fivemiletown’s selection of restaurants, bars which feature live entertainment, traditional pubs and quaint tea rooms.

Or take 48 hours to explore more

If one day isn’t enough (and we don’t think it is!), why not start the next day on a high walking through the treetops at the Jungle, Moneymore and call in to see their lovely llamas, before heading to Magherafelt for a brunch featuring the best of local produce.

Work up an appetite for dinner by returning to Moneymore and Splash NI Water Park. Bounce and slide on the inflatable aquapark, release endorphins with a cold-water swim or take it all in from your paddle board.

Prefer to stay on dry land? Head to Railway Karting and race against each other with their arrive and drive package. You could discover a future Formula One Champion in your family!

However you choose to spend your days, it’s time to unwind, in your own way and experience Mid Ulster for yourself.
