クールナフランキー周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ5

ティロン県のなだらかな田園地帯をサイクリングする際には、ウェルブルック・ビー tulang・ミルに立ち寄ることを強くお勧めします。バリンデリー川沿いの牧歌的な、木々に囲まれた小川の谷に位置するこの19世紀の水車は、周囲の静けさとは対照的です。 ここは、英国で唯一稼働している「ビー tulang・ミル」です。「ビー tulang」とは、伝統的なアイルランドのリネン製造における最終工程でした。巨大な木槌（ビー tulang）が、高さ約5メートルの水車によって動かされ、リネンに独特の光沢が出るまで何時間も加工されていました。工場が稼働しているときは、遠くからでもリズミカルな轟音が聞こえてきます。北アイルランドの産業の最盛期へとあなたを直接連れ戻す、印象的な音です。

The church ruins date from the early 16th century but include stones from a much earlier pre 11th century church. After a new church was built, this one fell into disrepair, but the graveyard remains in use.

An important historic site, Tullyhogue Fort is where the O'Neills were crowned the Chiefs of Ulster. It is now planted with trees and you can enjoy views across the countryside of County Tyrone.

Here stands the remains of the once magnificent Drum Manor house. The house was built in the 1800s and was bought from the Forest Service in 1964 when it was turned into a park for the public. The park now features a campsite, hiking trails, gardens and a play park.

Drum Manor Forest Park is made up of beautiful mature deciduous woodland feauturing beech and oak. Winding forest tracks will take you on a lovely route through the area passing ponds, gardens, and a derelict manor house.

National Trust owned water powered mill, originally used in the manufacture of Linen. Well worth stopping off for a look around.

Outdoor activities include a campsite, hiking trails, gardens and a play park. There is also a large parking lot with restrooms.

This a National Trust property that I believe has limited opening hours. It is well worth a visit and taking the free guided tour which gives lots of info about the place the mill had in the linen manufacturing industry (beetling being part of the finishing of the linen cloth). As part of the tour the water powered mill machinery will be stated up and you see the linen cloth being processed as it would when the mill was open.
