Killeter to Killen - Bollaght Mountain Trail (IAT)

Starting in the village of Killeter, this section of The International Appalachian Trail (IAT) follows quiet country roads, areas of woodland, before picking up the Ulster Way on the northern slopes of Bollaght Mountain. The route is waymarked from here using yellow on blue Ulster Way signage. You then ascend Bessy Bell, where panoramic views of the western Sperrins can be enjoyed. The route continues to reach Gortin Forest Park and the village of Gortin itself.

An interesting walk on the southwestern edge of the Derg valley through scenic, seldom visited countryside. The highlight of this walk is the Causeway, an abandoned 1.5 mile stretch of the original Killeter to Pettigo Road.

This 2nd section of Bollaght Mountain Trail, part of The International Appalachian Trail (IAT), follows quiet country roads, areas of woodland, picking up the Ulster Way on the northern slopes of Bollaght Mountain. You then ascend Bessy Bell, where panoramic views of the western Sperrins can be enjoyed. The route is waymarked from here using yellow on blue Ulster Way signage.

This walk along a beautiful stretch of the River Mourne is particularly colorful in autumn when the leaves are changing colour.

One of a variety of walks along the lough shore passing the deer park enclosure, wildfowl ponds, wildflower meadow and butterfly garden. Evidence of the WW2 can be found throughout the park in flying-boat docks, ammunition dumps, Slit trenches, etc. This is because Lough Erne played an important role as the most westerly flying-boat station, from which aircraft protected the allied convoys from the U-Boat threat in the North Atlantic. There is also a family cycle trail waymarked around the park.

A walk along a canal in the process of being restored. Excellent views of the River Foyle and across to Donegal can be gained from the most northern point of the walk.
