Small, cozy coffeeshop in the center of Beltrim, housed in an old bank building. Known as a quiet stopover for cyclists in the Sperrin region, with good coffee, cakes, and a friendly atmosphere. Located close to the river, it forms a logical break point on routes between Omagh, Gortin, and the Sperrins hills.

Gortin Glen Forest Park is full of good trails and beautiful trees. There is a 5 mile scenic forest drive which is signposted and takes in all of the best views. With waterfalls, resident sika deer and a cafe at the centre of the park it makes an ideal detour from the road.
