Ness Country Park

Ness Country Park lies in the steep, wooded glen of the Burntollet Valley, southeast of Derry City. We have recently completed extensive development work in the park which now extends along both sides of the Burntollet River joining Ness and Ervey Woods.

The Country Park is made up of 55 hectares of mixed woodland (including Ness Wood, Ervey and Tamnymore Woods) as well as more open parkland. The woods are now linked by Donaghy’s Farm, which gives visitors access to 7km of woodland and riverside walks and affords splendid views across the valley.

It also includes an area of level meadow, providing easy-access walking for less able visitors. The Park has wildlife ponds, picnic tables, wildflower meadows and a new Visitor Centre where you can view an exhibition on woodland biodiversity.
