Sperrins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sperrins, or Sperrin Mountains (from the Irish: Na SpeirÃnà meaning "Spurs of Rock") are a range of hills in Northern Ireland and one of the largest upland areas in Ireland.
The Sperrins Region is located in the centre of Northern Ireland, stretching from the western shoreline of Lough Neagh in County Tyrone to the southern portions of County Londonderry. The region has a population of some 150,000 and is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. The distinctive glaciated landscape of the Sperrins constitutes one of the most idyllic geographical areas of rural Ireland. The Glenshane Pass, part of the A6 Belfast to Derry road, is in the mountains and has notoriously bad weather in winter.
