Tyrone

 
Overview

County Tyrone is one of the nine counties of Ulster, one of the six counties of Northern Ireland and one of the thirty-two counties on the island of Ireland.

Description

It is no longer used as an administrative division for local government but retains a strong identity in popular culture. Tyrone is dominated by the heather-clad Sperrin Mountains. These are the largest and one of the least-explored mountain ranges in Northern Ireland – just an hour from Belfast or City of Derry airports, yet offering up dramatic valleys, hills, forests and lakes, not to mention prehistoric tombs and standing stones.
