Glenshane Forest is a beautiful coniferous woodland located along the Glenshane Pass on the main road between Belfast and Londonderry. The forest features a large area of heather moorland and a beautiful babbling brook that runs right through it, the River Roe. Gorgeous location for a stroll with a fascinating touch of history too if you're heading to Priest's Chair.
