Sculpture of a giant made from wood, great fun for the kids, but it’s pretty steep getting up there for little ones.

Gortin is a great place to begin and end a run. You could visit The Auld Bank Coffee Shop for delicious breakfast, lunch, coffee and snacks, or, if it's a cold pint a pub lunch you'd prefer, you could check out Mossey's Bar.

Moor Lough is a beautiful lake situated in the Sperrins Area of Natural Beauty. The lough is fit with public toilets, several beaches, and a segregated paddleboarding area. The fisheries are well stocked with takeable trout making it popular amongst fishermen. It's worth bringing a picnic and spending an afternoon lazing around the river with friends or family.

Popular spot for fishing, the Lough has a great gravel track around the edge. The views are great all the way around.

From this viewpoint you gain spectacular views of the Sperrins mountain range. Mullagharn is the most southerly peak resulting in a great perspective to take in the rest of the range.
