It is a very special place of spirituality and architectural richness in rural County Tyrone, linked to two bells, and with two churches.

Visitors to Ballyclog will have an opportunity to tour both the old church and the new church, hear about the history of Ballyclog, see a replica of ‘St Patrick’s Bell’, and ring the current bell housed in the round bell tower.

A guided walk will be held at 3pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Rosehill House is a unique thatch property on the outskirts of the village, a beautiful country haven lets you step back in time.

Experience a snapshot of life in the early 1900’s. Rosehill House provides an enjoyable educational experience for all ages.
