Davagh Forest
Ten miles north west of Cookstown, Davagh Forest covers 1,500 hectares. The forest is largely upland coniferous set in the foothills of the Sperrins.
Activities
There are a number of mountain bike trails and a walking trail. These have been developed in partnership with Mid Ulster District Council and are managed by them.
There is a circular waymarked trail with fishing stands that takes walkers around Lough Fea. It is accessed from the two car parks. This is also managed by Mid Ulster District Council.
While there are no formal trails in Davagh, walkers may use the forest road for leisurely walks. Some of the road network has tarmac. Organised motor rallying events are allowed, if clubs meet the licensing rules. For details contact Forest Service.
There may be restrictions on access to parts of the forest from time to time due to forest operations. Pay attention to safety signage.
About this forest
There are two satellite blocks Broughderg and Lough Fea. These merge with the Mid Ulster District Council-managed area at Lough Fea on the Cookstown to Draperstown Road.
