Activities

Tyrone has things covered with top golf and a touch of cricket

Cricket

Enjoy a spot of cricket at the Bready Cricket Club, particularly enjoyable if the sun makes an appearance, and you can either partake or stretch out your legs as a spectator!

Golf

With Tyrone local Darren Clarke one of the world’s greatest players, it’s no surprise that the county has a passion for the game. Check out the Omagh or Newtownstewart for excellent 18 holes, or try the Fintona 9-hole course, which rates in the top nine around the country.
