Route Description for Drumnaph Nature Reserve Walk

Featuring plenty of forest and marshland trails to explore, the Drumnaph Nature Reserve Walk is a great way to get out and experience the natural beauty of County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way through the forest to the southwest, where you will quickly reach a swathe of wetland terrain. After passing through this area, the trail will bend to the north and lead you on a loop through the serene woodlands that feature a mixture of ancient and newly planted trees. Eventually, you will pass by several smaller ponds along the northern portion of the route, at which point, you will begin to make your way to the southeast on the return leg to the trailhead where you began your adventure through Drumnaph Forest.
