Todds Leap Activity Centre

Overview

Nestled amid the rolling hills of County Tyrone, Todds Leap Activity Centre is a multi‑award‑winning adventure playground that caters to families, friends, corporate groups and school parties alike. Spread across a purpose‑built off‑road track, the site offers more than 20 high‑octane activities, a fully equipped café, a licensed restaurant in a converted cottage, on‑site parking and a range of glamping accommodations. Whether you fancy a heart‑pounding zip‑line, a controlled free‑fall drop, or a leisurely woodland trail, Todd’s Leap delivers a seamless blend of excitement and hospitality.

Location & Address

The centre is situated in the rural hamlet of Seskilgreen, just outside Ballygawley and a short 20‑minute drive from Dungannon. The official address is:

30 Todds Leap Rd, Dungannon, BT70 2BW

The site sits in the heart of the Clogher Valley, surrounded by the Sperrin foothills, making it an ideal base for exploring the wider Tyrone countryside.

History & Founding

The name “Todd’s Leap” originates from a local legend about Benjamin Todd’s daring horseback escape over a gorge, a story that has endured for over two centuries. The modern adventure centre began in the 1990s, founded by local farmer David Todds as a simple dirt track on his farm. Over the ensuing decades the O’Hanlon family took over the operation, expanding the site into the purpose‑built adventure hub it is today and maintaining a strong community focus.

Awards & Recognition

Celebrating 30 years of excellence, Todds Leap has collected a string of regional and national awards for adventure tourism, family‑friendly facilities and accessibility. While the exact titles of the awards (e.g., Tourism Northern Ireland ‘Adventure Attraction of the Year’) have not been independently verified, the centre is regularly listed among Northern Ireland’s top attractions and has received commendations for safety, inclusivity and visitor experience.
