About
Boasting the darkest sky in the heart of Northern Ireland, spend the evening at the foothills of the Sperrin Mountains by the edge of Davagh Forest and Beaghmore Stone Circles. The Stars and Stones Experience invites you to step back in time and learn about the ancient stones, our first observatory here. You’ll enjoy a guided exhibition tour beginning at OM Dark Sky Observatory where you will learn about the sky and it’s connection with the Stone Circles at Beaghmore.
You will learn the basics of the night sky and have an opportunity to enjoy some solar viewing. We will then walk the 3.4km Solar Walk to Beaghmore Stone Circles where we will learn about the fascinating history and significance of the stones told through the stories of those who once lived and walked these lands.
