About
Lady's View Walk: The forest drapes itself over the western flank of Mullaghcarn, an outlier of the Sperrins. Several waymarked walks sprout from the main car park. Join the Ulster Way along lovely Pollen Burn, bright with dragonflies. Walk through the forest, which has some huge Sitka spruce well mixed with other species, and come up out on to the bare hill - covered with purple bell heather (flowering in July), ling heather (August) and pink blossomed cross-leaved heather in boggy parts. Look out forSitka deer. When armed they utter a sharp terrier-like bark and bound away flaring a bight white petticoat. Carry on and forest paths will bring you back to the car park.
