Central Sperrins Way
48 km / 30 miles
One of the official Waymarked Ways in Northern Ireland, the route is through one of the largest uplands in Ireland. Within the Sperrins AONB, the gentle rounded contours of the Sperrin Hills are followed through villages using country lanes, open moorland, green lanes and farm tracks. It includes the Gap (Barnes), an ice-age cut, views of Coneyglen, Glenelly, and the Owenkillew Valley, an SSSI, and it goes around Mullaghbane.
The Central Sperrins Way is one of nine Waymarked Ways, a series of walking routes geographically spread across Northern Ireland, and led by the Northern Ireland Countryside Access and Activities Network (CAAN), an umbrella organisation. Ranging in length from 20-35 miles, the aim of the Waymarked Ways project is to open up the countryside to the people of Northern Ireland and tourists alike. The Waymarked Ways are: Antrim Hills Way, Causeway Coast Way, Moyle Way, Carleton Trail, Ring of Gullion, Newry Canal Way, Lecale Way, Sliabh Beagh Way and Central Sperrins Way
