The true definition of a hidden gem, Davagh Forest lies approximately 6 miles north west of Cookstown in an untouched rural landscape of rolling hills and sweeping forests. In an attempt to unlock Davagh's unique potential for outdoor recreation, the district Council has recently installed a network of walking and mountain biking trails. Visitors may be luck to catch a glimpse of sika deer. Davagh Forest's short circular walk begins from the upper car park and follows the black waymarker arrows alongside Davagh Water. This pleasant riverside path meanders through lush green, almost fluorescent, woodland before crossing over Davagh Water and gradually ascending to meet the main forest road.
