The Tollymore Forest River Trail offers an easy hike through diverse woodlands and along the Shimna River in the Mourne Mountains area. This picturesque route covers 3.8 miles (6.1 km) with an elevation gain of 367 feet (112 metres), typically taking about 1 hour and 41 minutes to complete. You will follow riverside paths and forest tracks, encountering features like the dramatic "Pot of Legawherry" and elegant historic stone bridges, such as Parnell's Bridge, which add architectural charm to the natural landscape.
Located within Tollymore Forest Park, Northern Ireland's first state forest park, the trail is generally accessible and suitable for all skill levels. While mostly easy, expect some variety in terrain, including steps, gullies, and tree roots, with moderate gradients in certain sections. The well-maintained paths make it a great option for families and those looking for a gentle outdoor experience.
Beyond its natural beauty, the trail boasts a rich history and unique features. You can explore an arboretum with towering redwoods and ancient oaks, and discover the secluded Hermitage, a stone shelter built in 1770. For fans of fantasy, Tollymore Forest Park also served as a filming location for several scenes in the popular series Game of Thrones, adding an intriguing layer to your visit.
