Enjoy some peace and serenity as you jog along the shores of the beautiful and calm Altnaheglish Reservoir, situated in the Sperring Area of Natural Beauty. The reservoir is located in the Banagher Forest, which is home to some of the oldest ancient oak woodlands in Ireland. It's a true place of beauty!

With Barnes Top and Knockanbane Mountain to the east and Sawel Mountain to the south east, Sperrins Road carves through the landscape with cracking views all around. There is some descent climbing to get here but it's worth it.

Banagher Dam was built in the 1930's, is 42m high and spans a gap of 110m. It is NI's highest dam with a capacity of 2270 million litres of water! On the banks of the reservoir sits some of Irelands most ancient oak woodland with plenty of footpaths to explore it.
