Gortnamoyagh Forest dog walk, NI - Dog walks in Northern Ireland

Description

Huge forest plantation, looked after by the Forestry Commission.

There's a legend surrounding 'The Rock' - a feature more or less in the centre and close to Beer's Bridge. Apparently St. John, who actually lived in this area, flew from the rock to officiate mass in nearby Churchtown and left the impression of the track of his sole on the rock. His footprint can still be seen on the rock today. Mmm.

More reliably, there's forest wildlife to be seen, including buzzards, kestrels, ravens, jays and foxes.
