Loughgall Country Park

A very nice Country Park nestling around a lake and apple orchards. There is a carpark with a small entrance fee, and toilets. A coffee van is occasionally present between the carpark and childrens' playground. Fishing is popular at the lake and there is an 18 hole golf course, a football pitch and two tennis courts within the park. There are a number of waymarked walks. My personal favourite is the Bridle Path walk (3.5 miles / 5.91 kms) which is a walking route that takes in the woodland and also skirts the golf course in parts. There are a couple of steeps climbs if you walk in an anti-clockwise direction. Also, the route around the golf course is rough underfoot in parts but is tarmac elsewhere. Therefore, not all the walks are suitable for those with mobility issues. As with most places, there is some dog fouling and littering. Likewise, many people have their dogs off their leads, which can be a nuisance. Very occasionally horses are on this path, but in my experience, the riders are sensible and considerate of walkers. If you have children or dogs be aware that tractors and other vehicles use the roads and paths around the park. There are plenty of birds to be seen including Buzzards and, if lucky, a Great Spotted woodpecker. I recommend this park as somewhere to visit if you are in the area.

Nice place to go walking on a wet or sunny day. Park up for free by the gatehouse entrance in the village, otherwise pay in the country park. I spent over 2 hours walking around the park, through woods, orchards, around the lake and edge of the golf course. There's a visitors office, toilets, football pitch and changing rooms, tennis and basketball courts, children's play area and fitness stations located around the park.

Great course, amenities leave a little to be desired, but fairways greens and surrounding areas all in fantastic condition

Beautiful park, with a number of habitats for plant and bird life. Good paths, plenty of bins and a few benches. I walk here often with my sister, father, and the dogs.
