Enjoy tremendous views across Altnaheglish Reservoir from the Banagher Dam wall.

Wonderful views down the long slopes of Slieve Gallion towards the town of Magherafelt.

Slieve Gallion is 528 metres high and sits on the western shore of Lough Neagh. The mountain is a volcanic plug meaning it is formed from volcanic igneous rock and granite on the southern slopes. There is plenty of wildlife in the area with the Irish hare, the curlew and red grouse to spot.

This predominantly pine forest has fast and fun tracks running through it with gorgeous views of the Sperrin mountains including Craigagh, Spelhoagh and Crockbrack hills.

Banagher Dam was built in the 1930's, is 42m high and spans a gap of 110m. It is NI's highest dam with a capacity of 2270 million litres of water! On the banks of the reservoir sits some of Irelands most ancient oak woodland with plenty of footpaths to explore it.

On the way back, after Point 4, there is a large segment over private land. No access allowed. On the way back, the route goes over private land where walking is not allowed. We were turned back by the landowner and were not allowed to continue on his property (from point 4 to 5 on the route)! We had to walk about 6 km extra to get to the starting point (A)!
