Derkmore Wood Nature Reserve in west county Donegal, Ireland is a Nature Reserve situated in the Gweebarra Forest on exposed undulating ground on the southern flank of Cleengort Hill. This area of oak scrub has well developed bryophyte and lichen flora. Bird is very popular here with diverse Birdlife in the wood from the colourful Jays to the agile Tree-creepers. Raven, Buzzard and Sparrowhawk all breed within or close to the woodland, while Wood pigeon and Blue and Long-tailed tits are regularly encountered on a walk. A 2.5km loop trail takes you from the car-park along old cart-ways and down into the valley bottom.
Use our Map of Ireland and Sat Nav tool to get directions and our detailed route map and GPS on our ActiveME App to find and follow the paths live on screen and keep on track. At all times, our maps and App should be used in conjunction with a proper map and compass navigation techniques.
