Beautiful area with loads to see and do if you like outdoors. 1st class facility. FYI Cafe seems to be only open on weekends. Recommended especially to families on a day out or walkers and cyclists alike. Trails are graded for difficulty so something for beginners and experienced trekking. All in all a very good day.

Had an absolutely lovely walk here around one of the many stunning forest walks that started and looped back to the car park . It was a quite steep walk initially but the levelled out a bit before the decline , I chose a smallish hike taking 1 hour but there are plenty more for all standards of walkers . There was plenty of car parking at the two car parks with picnic and BBQ benches , this is a lovely place to visit .

Beautiful place. An established forest with very scenic trials for walkers. It has a lovely coffee shop and a excellent play area for kids. The mullaghcarn trial offers amazing view with a friendly giant to greet you at the summit.
