County Tyrone is Northern Ireland's largest county, rural and centred on the Sperrin Hills, with good value land reflecting its quieter, more agricultural character away from the Belfast conurbation. It shares in the province's generally strong pony and sport-horse culture, without the concentration of professional yards found closer to the capital.
Being large and rural, real distances exist between Omagh, Strabane and Cookstown within the county itself, and it sits toward the west-central part of the province, meaning a proper journey to reach Belfast-area shows or the busiest parts of the Northern Ireland pony scene. For a family wanting good value and a genuine, unpretentious buying experience, Tyrone is a solid choice — just plan viewing trips with the county's size in mind.
