Randalstown Forest

Full Description

Randalstown Forest is a lovely choice for a peaceful woodland adventure, with quiet forest paths and plenty of nature for children to discover. It is a great option when you want a simple walk away from busy attractions and a chance for the wee ones to explore at their own pace.

The forest paths wind between tall trees, giving children opportunities to spot birds, notice changing leaves and listen to the sounds of the woodland. You can turn the walk into a little nature hunt by looking for pinecones, different leaves and signs of wildlife along the way.

Some of the wider, flatter gravel routes are more manageable with a buggy, although conditions can vary after rain. There is no need for a packed itinerary here: bring a snack, choose a comfortable route and enjoy the fresh air together.

What You'll Find

Follow woodland paths through the forest and let little explorers look for birds, bugs and seasonal nature finds. The forest itself is the main attraction here.
