Cookstown 위쪽, 인상적인 Sperrin Mountains 산기슭에는 Beaghmore 석환이 있습니다. 이곳은 아일랜드에서 가장 매혹적인 고고학 유적지 중 하나입니다. 1940년대에 토탄 채취 중에 재발견된 이 유적지는 청동기 시대의 7개의 석환, 10개의 석렬, 수많은 봉분이 있는 복합 유적지를 드러냈습니다. Beaghmore까지 가는 길은 자전거 타는 사람에게는 그 자체로 경험입니다. 이 경로는 당신을 문명 세계에서 바람이 자유롭게 부는 광활하고 조용한 풍경으로 이끕니다. 유적지 자체는 엄청난 평온함을 발산하며, 자전거에서 내려 선사 시대의 분위기를 느낄 수 있는 완벽한 장소입니다.
