Sperrins Partnership
Hidden away in the heart of Ulster lies the Sperrins, a dramatic environment millions of years in the making and with a thousand and one secrets awaiting to be discovered.
This scenic heartland offers a complete taste of rural Ireland and features some of Ireland’s most stunning landscapes – the heather clad hills of the high Sperrins; a series of rich and fast flowing rivers which feed into and sustain the significantly biodiverse wetlands of Lough Foyle and Lough Neagh; the vastness of Glenelly and Owenkillew Valleys; and a patchwork of wonderfully sculpted fields and townlands scattered across the region.
The Sperrins Partnership, a cross council led project including Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council, Derry City and Strabane District Council, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Mid Ulster District Council, is currently developing the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Management Plan.
The plan is an extension of work conducted through the Sperrins Future Search initiative in 2017 Reaching New Heights, Realising Our Potential.
