Grace Mulligan
October 30, 2023, Altkeeran Waterfall

If you walk 100m slightly off the path south at this waypoint, you'll reach the beautiful little Altkeeran Waterfall. The waterfall is situated nearby to the spring Source Of The Grillagh and the peak Carntogher.

Glenshane Forest is a beautiful coniferous woodland located along the Glenshane Pass on the main road between Belfast and Londonderry. The forest features a large area of heather moorland and a beautiful babbling brook that runs right through it, the River Roe. Gorgeous location for a stroll with a fascinating touch of history too if you're heading to Priest's Chair.

Garvagh Forest is filled with mysterious features. This one is a wood-carving of a rabbit and is situated on the western side of the park. Discovering the others is quite an adventure and makes a great day out for families.

It's quite an unusual experience stumbling into a pyramid in the middle of an Irish forest! This pyramid was built in the 19th century as a burial chamber for Lord Garvagh and is a lovelly feature to the forest today.
