Tips from the Community
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.

A row of terraced houses just outside the town of Randalstown. An important military location, these houses could've been used as barracks or staff housing. The symmetry of these houses is very pleasing as you ride past.

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.

Contained within the ruins is a sculpture of the crucifixion, which is thought to date from the 10th Century, making it one of the oldest in Ireland. St Lurach founded an important church here in the 6th century. It was plundered by Vikings in 832 and burned in 1135. Following the 12th-century ecclesiastical reforms this was the seat of a bishop from the mid 12th to the mid 13th century, then served as parish church until the new church across the road was built in the early 19th century. This long history is reflected in the much patched and altered fabric, and the big uneven graveyard.
