Let the Dance Begin

*UPDATE* there are no longer public toilets at this spot

The path leads a little uphill to the Beltany Stone Circle. It is not possible to photograph the entire stone circle because it is on a slope. The Beltany stone circle (An Bhealtaine in Irish) or Beltany Tops is located around three kilometers south of Raphoe. The name Beltany comes from the Celtic fertility festival Beltane or Beltaine. The stone circle is more than 44 meters in diameter and consists of 64 preserved stones on a 1 to 1.2 meter high platform on a hill, called tops. Originally the circle may have consisted of 80 stones. The stones, with an average height of 1.6 m, stand closely together and form a ring around the internal platform (a low burial mound). Created 2100-700 BC BC Many of the stones have fallen over or are about to fall over.

Situated on a site adjacent to the Strabane bypass, the 'Let the Dance Begin' sculpture by Maurice Harron is an ensemble of five stainless steel and bronze figures. Commissioned by the former Strabane District Council in collaboration with the Strabane Lifford Development Commission, this artwork symbolises the transition to the new millennium. The statues, standing at an impressive height of approximately 30 foot (10 m) have affectionately been named "The Tinnies" by the locals.

Moor Lough is a beautiful lake situated in the Sperrins Area of Natural Beauty. The lough is fit with public toilets, several beaches, and a segregated paddleboarding area. The fisheries are well stocked with takeable trout making it popular amongst fishermen. It's worth bringing a picnic and spending an afternoon lazing around the river with friends or family.

Popular spot for fishing, the Lough has a great gravel track around the edge. The views are great all the way around.

Pretty and quiet road that travels adjacent to the River Finn where you can see views of Carricklee Hill to the south of the road.
