Tievenadarragh Wood - Viewpoint Trail
Tivenadarragh Wood offers 6km (3.6 miles) of waymarked trails exploring the woodland with the opportunity to take in panoramic views of the County Down countryside and the Mourne Mountains. The woodland’s name derives from the Irish Taobh na Darach, which means “hillside of the oak tree”. Records show that it was retained as woodland to provide firewood for the local area and for sporting purposes.This 3mile coastal walk goes from Bangor’s Ballyholme Beach to Groomsport and back. Both settlements were developed by Sir James Hamilton and his Scottish tenants in the early 1600’s, so the area has strong Ulster-Scots connections.
TRAIL INFORMATION
This trail follows for most of its length the Drumaness Trail but close to the ned of the loop, the trail climbs steadily up through the trees to a viewpoint where walkers are rewarded for their efforts with spectacular views over the Mournes and the surrounding County Down countryside. Find your way about by following the purple waymarker discs on the wooden posts located throughout the wood.
