Location:

The peaks of Binevenagh and Benbradagh mountains dominate the scenery of the Borough. Binevenagh Mountain in the north is the focal point within the Binevenagh Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with dramatic views to and from the mountain. Binevenagh is a prime location for hill walking and fishing; the lake on the summit is stocked with rainbow and brown trout and can be accessed by car along a forest road.  The views from the top are exceptional and the visitor is often joined by gliders soaring overhead from the nearby Ulster Gliding Club.

Benbradagh Mountain to the south falls within the Sperrins Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, overlooking Dungiven at the gateway to the Glenshane Pass.  A short climb along the old “American Road” provides some of the finest views around with minimum effort to the southern Sperrins and to Donegal. Benbradagh is a favourite spot for para gliders and hang gliders.
