Craignamaddy

The walk up Craignamaddy rewards you with views that stretch across the Sperrins toward Omagh, though it's not the kind of hike that'll take your breath away with drama. From the summit you're looking at rolling moorland rather than dramatic peaks, which is exactly what makes it quietly satisfying if you're touring this part of Fermanagh and Omagh.

It's a proper walk rather than a casual stroll - probably an hour and a half up, depending on fitness and how much you dawdle. The terrain's straightforward enough: moorland paths that get boggy after rain, so decent boots are essential. You won't find crowds up here, which is either a bonus or irrelevant depending on what you want from your day out.

Historically minded visitors might take note of the landscape itself - the Sperrins are ancient, and walking through them connects you to centuries of shepherding and farming. For families with school-age kids it works well, assuming they're keen walkers. Younger children might find the exposed moorland a bit relentless without much in the way of features to stop and examine.

If you're based at Gortin Glen Glamping - just 5.7 miles away and absolutely worth the money - Craignamaddy makes a logical morning or afternoon expedition. It's genuinely worth the walk, though don't expect it to be the highlight of your week. It's the kind of place that grows on you, especially if you catch decent weather and the light's sitting right across the valleys.
