Tips from the Community
Itβs disappointing that the dirt trails through the forest are for mountain bikers only. As a walker, you have to stick to the tarmac roads - also used by the mountain bikes. It felt like there is an assumption that walking is more about an afternoon stroll with the kids and the dog. The forest is for the mountain bikers.

This path sits runs alongside Vinegar Hill and has some fantastic views of the Sperrins including Mullaghbolig and Mullaghbane hill and down to Owenkillew River which has some beautiful deciduous woodland on its banks.

From this viewpoint you gain spectacular views of the Sperrins mountain range. Mullagharn is the most southerly peak resulting in a great perspective to take in the rest of the range.

Good trails for MTB but possibly even better gravel sections for those who are into gravel rides.
