Where can you park for a walk in the Derrynoyd River woodland near Draperstown?

The Derrynoyd River Trail has a parking area on Derrynoyd Road just outside Draperstown.

The trail is a roughly 0.9-mile circular walk following gravel woodland paths and part of the River Moyola. The route passes native and planted trees and gives views towards Derrynoyd Bridge, making it a gentler alternative to exposed mountain walks.

Practical advice: Follow the river-trail markers rather than mixing this up with the separate Derrynoyd Wood Trail parking entrance farther along the same road. Gravel paths may be slippery with leaves and water, and riverside slopes need care after rain.
