[edit] Sport
It has its own 9 hole golf course, set deep in the Sperrins. There are two Par 3s (2nd, 7th), 6 Par 4s (1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th ,9th) and a Par 5 (5th). The 5th was previously a Par 4 until recently when a tee box was added to add about 50 yards onto the distance to the green. The old tee box still remains, so you can chose which one to tee off from. There are also two tees at the seventh. The shorter tee is basically a straight shot onto the green with an iron, but the longer tee is harder to reach off the tee as the fairway turns to the right, and trees block the view of the green. The condition of the course is ever improving, and it is very pleasant but challenging.But many people despise its poor condition of greens and flooded fairways.
