Gortin Glen nestled within the Sperrin mountains with magnificent views of the surrounding area. There are 5 walking trails of various lengths. Each of the trails are colour coded and begin and end in the main car park.
We took the grey, Pollan trail. Just over a mile long and steep in some places you get to enjoy the beautiful waterfall and the views of the Pollan burn. We also ventured onto the park trail which was great for young children and suitable for buggies. This is a pleasant short walk at just under a mile. This walk takes you past a trim trail, over bridges and past a wildlife and deer enclosure. You can also take a trek to one of the“Giants of Sperrins” Part of a sculpture trail to help promote rural tourism.
The play park here is huge! With two state of the art play parks, designed for different ages. They are connected by a bridge and are high quality play equipment. Children will be busy climbing, sliding, swinging and bouncing on the inground trampoline. The playpark also features, sensory panels, multi activity units, climbing nets and pod swings.
There is a wonderful 5 mile drive around the Glen taking in all the breathtaking views of the Sperrins.
They also have an award winning campsite and glamping pods nearby @gortinglenglamping
