Beaghmore Solar Walk
Places to go and see in the Cookstown area:
Beaghmore Solar Walk
Visitors can now walk from what we believe may have been the first observatory in our ancient landscape, Beaghmore Stone Circles, to the modern-day observatory at OM in Davagh Forest. It is relatively new but a beautiful, peaceful walk in the countryside and leads to Davagh Forest where the new Giant was erected at the end of the summer last year.
The 3.4km Solar Walk situated outside Cookstown links the observed solar system in the sky with the astronomical solar and lunar alignments at Beaghmore. An augmented reality app will provide a digital guide of the solar system linking the uniqueness of the sky above to the area’s archaeological landscape along the way! A beautiful, scenic and peaceful walk situated in Kildress in an area of Outstanding Natual Beauty.
A bonus is, most Sundays there is a coffee cart.
