Itinerary description
Drumkeeragh Forest is a commercial coniferous woodland covering 200 hectares with an elevation which rises from 190 metres to 310 metres.
Occasionally there may be restricted access to parts of the forests during work or other forest operations so pay attention to safety signage.
A small car park for visitors is off the Drumnaquoile Road. An extensive forest road system allows walkers to access most of the forest.
All roads within the forest have rough gravel surfaces and strong footwear is recommended. There are good views of the surrounding countryside, with glimpses of Strangford Lough and Scrabo Tower visible between the low rounded hills. Looking towards the north west, a broad panorama stretches from Slieve Croob on the left to the Antrim Hills on the right. The view in the centre is across small hill farms, beyond which the Sperrin Mountains may be seen on a clear day.
