Beautifully located at the foot of Dart Mountain in the majestic Sperrin Mountains, an area of outstanding natural beauty is the home of Dart Mountain Cheese. Run by husband and wife team, Kevin and Julie Hickey, this beautiful experience gives visitors an exclusive peek into the world of artisan cheese production. Collaborating closely with local farmers and sourcing the finest local ingredients, Kevin and Julie take immense pride in crafting not only exquisite cheeses but also arange of flavourful chutneys, relishes, and craft drizzles.
Kevin is a warm and welcoming host and invites visitors to ask questions and engage throughout the experience. A friendly introduction is followed by behind the scenes access to the Cheese Shed, a converted stable barn where the cheese is produced. Surrounded by delightful warm aromas, Julie shares her story, weaving tales of her journey to becoming an award-winning cheese maker and her deep connection to this inspiring landscape.
