Somerset Wood is situated on the A54 Kilrea Road and has a large car park with open grass areas and picnic tables. From here two waymarked paths lead through a wide variety of broadleaved and conifer trees. There paths can be used for jogging in conjunction with exercise apparatus situated in a fitness cluster next to the car park. Guidance on how to use this apparatus safely and effectively is given on an illustrated lectern beside the fitness cluster. Herons nest beside the woodland, and squirrels can be seen further in the wood among the oak and beech trees.

Coleraine Woods

Location

Just under 2kms from the centre of Coleraine lie three areas of woodland - Mountsandel, Somerset and Castleroe. Situated on either side of the River Bann the woods were planted in the 1930's and 40's, although some more mature broadleaved trees date from the last century. Each area has something different to offer the casual visitor. Over 13kms of paths and tracks meander through 150 hectares of mixed broadleaved and coniferous woodland and all, apart from those in Mountsandel, are suitable for wheelchair users.
