The Abingdon Collection

'THE ABINGDON COLLECTION' is open by appointment only and offers a unique visitor experience in the beautiful rolling hills of Co. Tyrone. Divided into two distinct sections the first area covers classic cars, motorcycles, diecast models and enamel signs and every 'BIG BOY'S TOY' imaginable. Take a step back in time to the 1950's and remember when petrol was sold in gallons and you could still afford to buy it. The second part of the collection takes you back to the dark day's of World War Two and represents one of the largest private collections of militaria in the UK. Admission is free but contributions to Cancer Research are gratefully accepted. If you want a totally different day out with a history lesson included contact us now. Classic car and motorcycle clubs are very welcome and catering can be organised for visiting large groups. Admission is by appointment only but every effort will be made to facilitate any visiting individual or group. Fifty years of collecting in 2018.

I had a marvelous and extremely fruitful two days researching at the Mellon Centre for Migration Studies --- and it wouldn't have been successful without the help of Christine and Sarah, librarians and archivists (hope those are the right words!) at the Centre. They went out of their way to help me find books, articles, newspapers and more that matched my queries. I can't thank them enough for their help! The Centre is fantastic. So grateful.

Sperrin Mountains

These mountains travel adjacent to the Glenelly Valley on Ireland's North Coast.

Reviewed By Hoskin_Family - Tavistock, United Kingdom

We did the scenic driving route through the Sperrin Mountains, we were blessed with beautiful weather and could see for miles around. The road is not the best, but is ok if you take it steady; (have your wits about you with other drivers).

Stones from the "Bronze Age". Imagine, it's so long long ago (but still there). Close to Cookstown and Drum Manor Forest Park. Cookstown is a very nice town ! Have a coffee or lunch.

Dungannon Park

Reviewed By emmetwaugh - Dungannon, United Kingdom

A hidden gem amongst Dungannons' several notorious and downright ghastly disasters!! Meander through the vast wilderness of pathways whilst inhaling the intoxicating taste of Dog Fowl kindly donated by someone short of a plastic bag!!???? Having said all that, at least the present Covid Virus situation has threw up a massive bonus by not having a herd of Skeletons racing around the park for 5km every Saturday Morning disrupting the routing of the "Regular Users"????
