Seagahan Reservoir 💧 📍 Near Markethill, County Armagh A peaceful 2.25-mile loop around the reservoir, with lovely waterside views and woodland trails that took us around an hour to complete. The trail is mostly flat with some narrow sections. While there are some really scenic parts, quite a bit of the walk is on road, including a stretch beside a fairly busy main road. Some of the paths are also quite overgrown, with a few blind corners to be aware of. Because of the road walking, this is mostly an on-lead walk, although there are a few quieter sections where off-lead may be possible if your dog has good recall. There's a small car park, along with a few benches and bins, but facilities are otherwise limited. Although the trail follows the reservoir for much of the route, there isn't any direct access to the water. Overall, this one didn't really wow us. The scenery is nice enough, but with the amount of road walking it wasn't the most enjoyable or memorable route we've done. If you're nearby it's a handy place for a quick walk, especially if you're into fishing, but I wouldn't travel any distance specifically for it. 🐶 Our Ratings: Cleanliness 3/5 Quietness 3.5/5 Space 2.5/5 Off lead suitability 2/5 Fun factor 2/5 Overall 2/5 🌻 Reactive Friendly: Yes to an extent if dog/human reactive but no if traffic reactive. While this walk is very quiet with minimal encounters, the roads and passing cars may trigger some. Be mindful that there are a few blind corners and narrow paths too. 💜 Perfect For: -Dogs who prefer quieter walks -Reactive dogs in training -Sniffy walks 💬 Have you tried this walk? #nidogwalks #dogfriendlyni #dogsofnorthernireland #dogwalkcommunity
