On the southern shore of Lough Neagh you will find the beautiful Oxford Island National Nature Reserve. It is home to a variety of wildlife such as rabbits, badgers, otters, buzzards, and herons.
The Derrytrasna cycling route starts and finishes at the Nature Reserve and makes great use of the path that runs directly through it.

Beyond the Horizon

October 9, 2024

Located on the southern shore of Lough Neagh, the trail takes you through a tranquil landscape that is home to a diverse range of wildlife. If you're lucky, you might spot a shy badger, a heron on the bank, or even an otter gliding through the water. The sounds of buzzards circling above the treetops add an almost mystical touch to the setting.

The Derrytrasna Cycle Route starts and ends right here, taking you on a relaxed loop that's perfectly integrated into the nature reserve. The paved path changes to a natural path that takes you through dense vegetation. The route is not demanding, but offers just the right mix of relaxation and a slight challenge.

In the late afternoon, when the sun is lower and casts golden light over the lake, the island unfolds its very special charm. The scenery is almost picturesque - a nice opportunity to stop and simply enjoy the moment.
