With 8 unique experience packages being offered over the weekend you will have the opportunity to walk through the Sperrin Mountains foraging for food, see how artisan cheese is produced or have a go at traditional fishing. You can also step out on an Irish walking tour, horse ride through the wilderness or go canoeing through scenic waters.

Knowledgeable guides will ensure your experience is like no other, go horse riding through the stunning grounds of Beech Hill Country House Hotel before enjoying cream tea in the elegant settings or paddle along the idyllic River Foyle by canoe before sampling some delicious beer from the Walled City Brewery.
