The Glenelly Route


Find accommodation in this area

135 miles, 216 kilometres

This circuit has views, twisties, and sweepers. Add a few mountains and the odd quiet straight road. Serve all up with a 15 minute ferry crossing, a short visit to euroland and the chance to fill up with cheap petrol. And what have you got? A magical 120 mile circuit that takes in parts of counties Derry, Tyrone and Donegal using roads the locals keep quiet about, because they want them all to themselves.

Derry / Londonderry / Stroke CityStart anywhere on the circuit, and it works well both clockwise and anti-clockwise. Greencastle is a little fishing village with pubs that will serve you tea or coffee. Consider stopping in historic Derry and walk the 1-mile long 17th century walls.

There are challenging corners on the road from Newbuildings to Donemana, take special care there and think about dropping into the Sperrin Heritage Centre along the Glenelly Valley between Plumbridge and Draperstown.

The Sperrins


Take all day and soak up the feel of the places. You can divert to Gortin and Omagh for more brilliant twisties in a stunning setting and return via Newtonstewart.

This diversion passes Gortin Glen Forest Park and the Ulster American Folk Park between Omagh and Newtonstewart.
