Ride Routes

The Sperrins – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – are Northern Ireland’s most extensive mountain range and can be explored via a series of scenic road routes. The wider Sperrins area stretches from the Donegal border in the west, to Lough Neagh in the east and to the Atlantic shores in the north. This natural asset of mountain range mixed with the unspoilt landscape of winding rivers, valleys and scenic lakes all translate into a region recognised as one of the most idyllic geographical areas of rural Ireland.

Four scenic routes have been signposted by the Sperrins Partnership’s ‘Explore Omagh and the Sperrins Region’: North, Central, East and South. “Each route represents an opportunity to become immersed in an environment millions of years in the making and steeped in myth and legend.”
