After walking up a fairly short, steep hill section and rounding a sharp bend, look out for a track on the right which leads through the trees, just after a young holly tree.įollow the track as it makes its twisting, and often muddy, way through the trees. Turn onto Tannaghmore Road and walk for about 500m looking out for the entrance to Bohill Wood on the right.Įnter Bohill Wood and take the wide forestry road for about 200m. Turn right and walk the few metres to the Newcastle Road exit from the forest which is marked by a red metal gate.Ĭross the busy Newcastle Road and turn right on the pedestrian path making your way downhill past some houses for a few hundred metres until meeting Tannaghmore Road on the left.
Carry straight on through a section of tall, straight conifers until you meet a junction. A couple of tight bends add interest to the path as the undulating terrain leads down to a junction of paths with an unfinished turnoff to the left. After about a kilometre, an old moss-covered boundary walk skirts the path for a few metres. The path is almost flat at first and rarely rises beyond a slight incline up or down. It was just about possible to walk round the forest before the paths were laid, but there was a severe risk of getting lost in the dense, overgrown conditions.įollow the path as it zigzags its way through conifers and broadleaved forestry, frequently intersected by small streams.
Already, foxglove seedlings have claimed squatters’ rights in the disturbed edges. The paths were constructed quite recently and there is an amount of vegetative debris at the edges as a result of the work which, hopefully, time and nature will smooth over.
Start at the car park for Tievenadarragh Wood on the Oldpark Road and turn right at the first wooden post to begin the walk in an anticlockwise direction.
