In this video you will see - Tollymore Forest Park in Northern Ireland, one of the best forest parks in NI. The park has forest trails - it is just outside a town called Byransford. There are camping sites - and the Tollymore Activity Centre and BMX trails all around the forest and lake - well worth checking out!
For those who haven't been to Tollymore Forest Park before, they should know that it is the first state forest park in Northern Ireland that was established back in 1955 at Bryansford near the town of Newcastle (

First of all, this forest park covers a huge area - about 1,600 acres - at the foot of the Mourne Mountains and this should make it clear that it also manages to provide different views of the other surrounding mountains and the sea at nearby Newcastle. All these are additional when it comes to Tollymore Forest Park and mentioning the park itself from the inside and the green areas which one will come across and enjoy.
The Shimna River which goes through the park could be crossed by 16 bridges and the oldest of them dates back to 1726. The nice thing about this forest park - and a lot of other parks in Northern Ireland also have this feature - is having different trails which the park has for those visiting it; they are four different walking trails signposted by different colored arrows which differ in their length to give people the chance to choose the one they will be able to walk and complete; the longest one of them is known as "long haul trail" which is 8 miles long (which is about 13 kilometers).
If you ask us about the things we liked the most about this forest park then we should say that those gates which welcomed us at the beginning of the park are our favorite, they didn't give us the feeling of getting into a park but instead they gave us the feeling of getting into a fancy and old church in the town; those are stone cones atop gate piers and gothic-style gate arches that were done by the designer Thomas Wright of Durham.
There are lots of different natural and artificial things that mark this forest park, such as the rocky outcrops, the bridges, as well as the grottos and the caves, and for those who love nature and trees, they could experiment some of the exotic trees like the monkey puzzle and eucalyptus, the tall giant redwoods, as well as the Monterey pines; so you will end up with lots of things to be done in this forest park at the end if you decided to visit it eventually - you will enjoy your day there, we could promise you that.
There were some interesting information which we came across when we were collecting more info about Tollymore Forest Park, one of these facts is related to the Oak Wood that was the preferred material to be used for the interiors of Titanic Ship that was built in Belfast at that Time (

If you are making your plans to visit Tollymore Forest Park then you should know that it is open everyday from 10 AM until sunset - enough for you and the kids to go and have a walk, play around for a little bit, and get back home after exploring the whole place (

There are lots of forest parks in Northern Ireland - one of the things we truly appreciate about this country - which one could go to and be served with lots of things; kids areas, walking trails, bicycle lanes, sculptures, etc. We have been to several ones before in addition to this one, Tollymore Forest Park, such as Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park that is located in Belfast (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myJgb13QOYQ), we have also been to the Colin Glen Park which the kids enjoyed the Gruffalo Trail in (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-VljQfXps0), we visited the Hazelbank Park (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RmxgvB_bLw) and the Valley Park (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGKdU8ge7NA) which are both located in Newtownabbey in county Antrim, and we also went to St. Columb's Park in Derry-Londonderry before (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U24m87z2VCQ), and there are even much more scattered all over Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Of course when it comes to choosing the park that you are going to head to next, make sure to know the reason behind your visit before moving on because some of these parks are considered better than others for kids, and some might be better for the adults to walk around and walk their pets for example.

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
