Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh.  Plenty to explore in the park, including a museum, barns, houses actors in character.


Ulster American Folk Park  

Dungannon photo club hired a minibus for a trip to the Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh, Northern Ireland.  I map was quite handy as the folk park was so big.  We walked around the park with a small group or solo.   There are plenty of tourist attractions on offer here, from thatched cottages, cabins and houses to a school with an actor dressed up as the headmaster lecturing his students.  The houses you can explore and walk upstairs to the bedrooms.   A tour in the park and museum would be great.
