Gortin Glen Forest Park163 Glenpark Road, Co. TyroneThe Forest Park was opened in 1967 and embraces over 405 hectares of the much larger forest of Gortin Glen. It has the distinction of being the first to be established in a purely coniferous woodland which has been planted for the prime purpose of producing a commercial crop of timber. A major feature of the Forest Park is the 5 mile long tarmac drive through the forest which offers some breathtaking views. A number of vista parks have been constructed where the motorist can pull in and without getting out of the car enjoy the splendid views. Within a short walk of the main car park there are wildlife enclosures and an indoor exhibit. A nature trail has been laid out with information at each point. Picnic places with covered barbecue areas have also been provided and a number of forest trails lead to viewpoints. There is also a small shop and for young visitors there is the children's play area. | |
