In the springtime the valley floor is carpeted by bluebells, wood anemones and wild garlic and in the summer silver-washed fritillaries are found besides the path. With a keen eye you may also spot an elusive pint martin and red squirrels!

The Cuilcagh Mountain Park covers 6,000 acres on the north slopes of the Cuilcagh Mountain. The park was founded in 1998 and works to conserve the bogland and restore damaged peatland.

With an interesting and varied flora and fauna alongside historic ancient ruins, there is plenty to explore in the park.

The Cuilcagh Mountain Park sprawls 6,170 acres (2,500 ha) on the northern slopes of the spectacular Cuilcagh Mountain.
