June 5, 2023, Lover's Retreat

The Lover's Retreat is a beautiful spot, home to nesting herons. Some say it's name is taken from the lovers who used to hide within the branches of the weeping willow. There is also often a coffee van here which adds to its allure for cyclists pedaling through Omagh. It is also popular with dog walkers so be sure to keep an eye out for four legged friends.

Omagh is the county town of County Tyrone which plays host to a number of festivals and events throughout the year. A market town, there are plenty of places to stop to eat or drink and you can't fail to notice the twin spires of Sacred Heart Church.

Quiggery Water meanders its way next to you as you pedal along Blackfort Road. This is a delight, especially in summer with the lush green fields, busy hedgerows and cows all around.

Drumragh Old Church is a real hidden gem. The old ruins and ancient graveyard and worth a moment of exploration. Alice Milligan was buried here in 1953. She was a political activist in the Gaelic League, and a poet. She was born in 1865 and the inscription on her headstone reads; 'She loved no other place but Ireland'.

This is the entrance to the wonderful Gortin Glen Forest Park. There is a space to the right as you approach the entrance where you can leave your car, and an information board next to the gate detailing some pointers about the area.
