Loughall Country Park, a 465 acre estate, is
located adjacent to the picturesque village
of Loughgall.
There are 3 walks around this Country
Park, all starting from the car park and
taking in a range of open ground, orchards
and woodland areas. Follow the yellow
‘Highway to Health’ markers along the
Lakeside Trail, hugging the shoreline and
passing the numerous fishing stands.
From the car park follow the stone path
towards the lakeshore, on reaching a
T junction turn left, keeping the golf course
on your right and enjoy the views across
the lake. Further along the path you can
take in the local history of the lime kilns
and an old ice house. Follow this circular
path that leads back to the car park and
starting point.
You may see kestrels hovering over
grassland, buzzards hunting for food and a
variety of songbirds. Brown hares and
foxes are also regularly seen throughout
the estate
