About

Gortin Glen Forest Park is located just six miles from Omagh, Co Tyrone at the western gateway to the Sperrin mountains.

Gortin Glen Forest Park is made up of a network of 5 waymarked trails of varying lengths that start from the Trailhead close to the main car park. All trails are colour coded and return back to the car park. Each of the trails give the visitor the opportunity to enjoy the woodland, nestled nicely in the Sperrin Mountains. The Forest also takes in part of the Ulster Way Walking Route (also known as the International Appalachian Trail, Irish Section)
Other offerings and facilities include a large destination playpark, trim trail, BBQ, picnic area, and toilets.

The Forest Park can also be explored via a five-mile scenic drive which has a number of vista parks that vehicles can pull in to enjoy the magnificent scenery.

There is a cafe operation at weekends in low season and daily in summer at facebook.com/Briesbaristabar
