The scenic beauty and the variety of the landscape make Northern Ireland a great place to explore on foot. The wide scatter of villages and small towns across the country means that forest trails, clifftop paths, mountain hikes and pleasant strolls in country parks are literally on everybody's doorstep. The best known trail - certainly the longest at 560 miles ! - is the Ulster Way . This famous circular path, now largely waymarked, runs all round Northern Ireland and has other trails coming into join it , notably from Donegal and Cavan, as well as loops and extensions of its own. There are many other country waymarked walks, just as pleasant but more local and less strenuous, such as the North Down Coastal path, and also numerous very popular self guided town trails. Be prepared for sudden changes in the weather. Carry spare clothing. Boots are best. If you walk alone leave word of your route and expected time of return.

Location
Binevenagh Forest
Binevenagh Forest
Description
Mature conifer and broadleaved woodland. Binevenagh Lough is close to the headland. Panoramic views over lough Foyle and Donegal mountains. Rich in interesting artic and alpine plants. Easiest approach to Benevenagh is up a lane off the road built by eccentric 18th century Bishop of Derry. Shortly after entering the forest there is an obvious entrance just over a bridge, and room to park a car. Beyond the gate go uphill, bearing L always, to emerge on to a hard road and head for the summit of Binevenagh for one of Ulster's finest, widest vistas along the ridge - of Magilligan Strand, Lough Foyle and the hills of Inishowen. Scientists come looking for unusual fossils in the hill streams further round for the hill. There is a small artificial lake up here. Pass it on the west side. Then the Ulster Way descends NW along the edge of the scarp. Once back in the woods, the path is clear. Distance 3 miles (5km) Minimum Time 2 hours
Location
Five miles north of Limavady off the A2.
