Darkley Forest

Darkley Forest offers an enchantingly unique walking experience through a small and peaceful coniferous woodland.

Located immediately adjacent to the village of Darkley in Country Armagh, Darkley Forest is part of the larger Fews Forest and covers an area of 135 hectares.

You can discover this unspoilt hidden gem via one of two beautiful walking trails.

The ‘Principles of Leave no Trace’ apply within the forest ie everyone is encouraged to take their rubbish home with them.

Open all year round

Where can I park?

A small 8 space car park is located at the trail head on Mountain Lodge Road, next to Mountain Lodge Pentecostal Church.
