A selection of very nice waymarked short walks and further unmarked paths and trails through the woods. There is a lovely herd of white Fallow Deer there, too. Facilities are limited to toilets and picnic benches. There is also a refreshments trailer located on the edge of the meadow below the car park. Its opening hours seem intermittent in our experience There is plenty of free car parking too. On our last visit in September 2023, we saw little dog-fouling. This was a pleasant surprise because there had been a bad problem in summer 2023. It's worth a visit if you are in the area.

Parkanaur Forest Park is truly my favourite place to walk, and every visit reminds me why. From the moment you enter, the whole park feels peaceful and welcoming, with beautiful woodland paths that let you switch off from the noise of everyday life. One of the highlights of Parkanaur is the incredible herd of fallow deer. They’re often spotted grazing quietly in the clearings or resting beneath the trees, and seeing them up close always feels a little magical. Their presence adds something truly special to the park and makes each walk feel unique. It’s a real treat, especially if you enjoy wildlife or love that feeling of being immersed in nature. The trails themselves are lovely—some winding through cool, shaded woodland and others opening out into sunny stretches where you can take in views across the grounds. Parkanaur never disappoints it’s a must visit!

Lovely forest park a short drive from the main dual carriageway. Several short 1-2km trail walks winding alongside a small stream and under tall forest trees. Plenty of car parking and only losing a star as didn’t see any larger 4km+ trails.

My favourite park of all NI. I truly fell in love with this place. Wandering around the forest is so relaxing. I also love having a look at the deer. The manor is at its best in autumn when all the ivy turns red. A must see in the region!

Several trails for walkers of all ages plus dog friendly. Toilets are open but main cafe is not. There is a coffee shack in the car park for drinks and small biscuits or scones. They also have a trail that takes you around or into the deer enclosure .. you really can get close to them but for safety keep a good distance.
