Drumlamph Woodland

Take time out and discover the beauty of Drumlamph Wood, one of Northern Ireland’s rare and precious ancient woods. Just outside Maghera, the wood lies adjacent to the Sperrin Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is, unquestionably, a beauty in its own right. Drumlamph Wood has been traced back as far as 1599 and was once part of the extensive oak forest of Killetra in south-east County Londonderry. Look out for historical features such as the rath (or hillfort) to the north of the site, which is indicative of an early Christian settlement. And keep a watchful eye open for the wood’s natural treasures.
