1. The Abingdon Collection
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 191 reviews
'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.

An absolutely wonderful centre for yoga. I have attended for pre natal yoga and following my post natal check continued onto beginners yoga and yoga burn. I've always been made to feel so welcome within the centre and especially by Bridin. Throughout lockdown it has been brilliant to attend online classes during these recent months. In august 2019 I attended orba for prenatal massage, caroline made me feel completely at ease and I felt so fabulous after it. I couldn't recommend orba enough.

Fantastic location for woodland trail walks with the dog or more sedate way marked routes on even footpaths of varying distances or follow the 5 mile ‘scenic drive’ Wonderful newly refurbished play park for under 12’s, clean and accessible toilet block close by and usually a food and hot drink vendor on a Sunday. You can easily spend 2-3 hours here, even more on a dry day, take a picnic and head for the hills!

Our Illinois family greatly enjoyed the pictorial displays and the peaceful setting recreated around the actual house and homestead of Thomas Mellon. Of even greater interest was the list of Irish immigrants who were influential in every aspect of American life from the Revolutionary War to the present day. Several US Presidents have been direct descendants of Irish immigrants.

They have done this really well and whilst one does not like to dwell on senseless destruction the story of the Omagh bomb should not be forgotten. It is a timely reminder that when politics and the middle ground fail chaos from the margins can inflict obscene hurt and gross pain on innocent human beings.

I cannot praise this facility any higher. This is a hidden gem for the community with so much to offer from numerous daily groups meeting together to the range of facilities such as Audio Books, Electronic Books, Electronic magazines, Free Wifi, Newspapers, Amazing Children's section. They even have a Seasonal Affective Disorder lamp so you can top up on natural light whilst reading. The staff are very helpful and are always available. Well done and keep up the great work.
