Peatlands Park

Peatlands Park was the first of its type in the British Isles and was specifically established to promote and facilitate peatland awareness and issues.

The peat here has been forming for about 10,000 years.  Visitors can explore the 265ha (680 acre) site on foot along its many paths and wooden walkways. In fact there are over 16km (10 miles) of paths leading the visitor through the many and varied habitats within the Park.

Within the park are two National Nature Reserves, declared in 1980 for their unique flora and fauna species, many of which are found nowhere else in Northern Ireland.
