フォルミル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ12

クックズタウンの遥か上空、印象的なスペリン山脈の麓に、ビアグモアの石造円環群があります。ここはアイルランドで最も魅力的な史跡の一つです。1940年代に泥炭採掘中に再発見されたこの湿地からは、青銅器時代の7つの石造円環群、10の石列、そして数多くの墳丘墓からなる複合遺跡が姿を現しました。 サイクリストにとって、ビアグモアへの道はそれ自体が体験です。このルートは、人が住む場所から離れ、風が自由に吹き抜ける広大で静かな風景へとあなたを誘います。この遺跡群自体が計り知れないほどの静けさを放っており、自転車を降りて先史時代の雰囲気を味わうのに最適な場所です。

Breathtaking view of the Sperrins after a steady climb.

Steep but short stretch. Nice for photography

Sculpture of a giant made from wood, great fun for the kids, but it’s pretty steep getting up there for little ones.

Beaghmore (Bheitheach Mhór), meaning ‘big place of birch trees’. The stones speak of ancient rituals and to a people who understood astronomy. When you visit this ancient site look up in wonder at the sky and reflect, that the people that built these monuments observed the same sky, sun, moon and stars.

Formed from a glacial overflow, Barnes Gap is truly breathtaking. On your way up, don't forget to take in the spectacular views. The gap cuts through the east-west crest line of the southern Sperrin Mountains ridge, between the hills of Mullaghbane and Mullaghbolig.

There are 7 stone circles, 12 cairns and 10 rows of stones here at Beaghamore. In total 1269 stones were discovered under the peat during the 1930s. The site dates back to 2900 - 2600 BC.
