What makes Foyle Trails different?

Martin the owner and guide with Foyle Trails seeks to provide visitors with memorable small group experiences, where it is the quality of the rural experience that is the priority. He has developed a number of interpretative experiences that bring the ritual landscapes, ancient habitats and mythology of the Foyle Uplands to life for culturally curious visitors. During these experiences visitors gain many fascinating insights that they
would never discover on their own and of course they also enjoy a day of  “ Flῡirse Craic ”.

Martin, above all believes that landscape exploration should be an enjoyable as well as a memorable experience and he uses his wide knowledge
of the Foyle Uplands to bring this across.

WHAT I DO

Foyle Trails provides guided driving/walking tours that are both informative and entertaining and are designed to give discerning visitors unique insights into the best ritual landscapes and habitats in North Tyrone and the Sperrins.
My guided tours/experiences explore fascinating pre-historic ritual locations and ancient  habitats. Several of these pre historic sites and ancient habitats still retain their sacred significance. 

BEYOND SUSTAINABLE move on to
REGENERATIVE TOURISM


Foyle Trails has moved beyond sustainable tourism to  provide regenerative tourism experiences specifically for small group and incentive tour operators. Because of my extensive knowledge of the environments and ecology of the Foyle Region I can readily create group experiences that make a contribution to the regeneration of our habitats. By doing some light, hands on work your groups can, in a small way,  contribute to atmospheric carbon capture and biodiversity enhancement.  This specialist knowledge is something that few other tourist experience providers in Northern Ireland or for that matter the island of Ireland can provide.   So in this era of climate change and mass tourism questioning,  I invite small group and incentive tour operators to  contact Foyle Trails to chat about the regenerative experiences that I can provide.

“A Step Back in Time, Matin took us on an amazing off the beaten track adventure. His unscripted experience brought us through hidden parts of the Sperrin Uplands where we explored stone alignments, fairy trees and ancient bog habitats. Martin`s knowledge of this region`s landscapes is outstanding; it stretches right through from the Ice Age to Ireland`s Bronze Age and Celtic Era. This tour is an absolute must for anybody seeking a personal journey through time!”
