Amelia Earhart landed nearby in 1932 — you can visit the cottage that marks the spot. Today, Cutting Edge Helicopters and Eglinton Flying Club carry that tradition forward with bookable flying experiences.
Beyond the airfield, Brook Hall Estate & Gardens offers a quieter afternoon. When the weather closes in, Foyle Arena has both soft play and a climbing wall. Twenty of the 48 nearby places are free, which makes it easy to mix and match.
