Where does the Moydamlaght Forest Medium Trail start?

The Medium Trail starts from a parking area in Moydamlaght Forest on Moydamlaght Road near Draperstown.

The published walk is a 1.3-mile circuit on forest roads through conifers and beech woodland on the lower slopes of Mullaghmore. It climbs away from the start before descending back to the car park. Tourism NI tells walkers to follow the signs specifically marked “Moydamlaght Medium Trail”, which helps distinguish it from longer hikes in the wider Sperrins.

Practical advice: Treat the 1.3-mile distance as a walking circuit, not a drive-up viewpoint. Bring a trail map or saved directions and suitable shoes; do not assume the parking area provides toilets or a café, as those are not confirmed in the listing.
