About

Sited at Walworth is Northern Ireland's first state forest which includes a picnic area, walks and jogging trail. There are some 19th-century water mills at Carrickhugh.

Various short routes are available in the forest on the southern and northern side of the A2 just west of Walworth and Ballykelly. Popular with walkers, dog walkers and runners. Also known as the Camman Wood, Ballykelly Forest was a popular haunt for highwaymen terrorising the coach road from Coleraine to Derry.
