Take a break from cycling …. Enjoy activities in the Magherafelt District The District of Magherafelt enjoys a prime location in the centre of Northern Ireland, stretching from Lough Neagh and the River Bann in the east and into the Sperrin Mountains in the west and is divided by the meandering Moyola River. The District is steeped in history and many relics of the past are scattered throughout its diverse landscape - ancient monuments, ruined churches, plantation towns and of course the pervading spirit of a diverse and unique cultural heritage.
The Magherafelt District offers a wide range of exciting activities and attractions for all ages and interests. From sports and the outdoor life, to fine restaurants, shopping and the buzzing night life. The beauty of the Sperrins and surrounding areas and the cultural heritage of the area offers a glimpse into the rural areas of the district, whilst the buzzing night life and fine restaurants provide the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy the craic.
The Moyola flows its source in the Sperrins through the district past Draperstown, Tobermore and Castledawson to Lough Neagh. The Lower Bann is internationally renowned for both coarse and game angling. The salmon pool at Carnroe is argued to be one of the best in Europe. Coarse fishing on the Lower Bann and Lough Beg is excellent too - catches of 20-30 kg per day can be enjoyed. The waters are abundant in bream, roach and hydrids and Pike in Lough Beg. The famous Lough Neagh eels are a lure to the coarse fishermen too, with excellent fishing on the Lower Bann near Toomebridge.
