If you walk 100m slightly off the path south at this waypoint, you'll reach the beautiful little Altkeeran Waterfall. The waterfall is situated nearby to the spring Source Of The Grillagh and the peak Carntogher.

Here lies a beautiful weaved structure of a pair of deer, one of the many fun and fascinating discoveries of the Garvagh Forest.

Garvagh Forest is filled with mysterious features. This one is a wood-carving of a rabbit and is situated on the western side of the park. Discovering the others is quite an adventure and makes a great day out for families.

It's quite an unusual experience stumbling into a pyramid in the middle of an Irish forest! This pyramid was built in the 19th century as a burial chamber for Lord Garvagh and is a lovelly feature to the forest today.
