Glenanne Glen 🌿 📍 Near Markethill, Co. Armagh This is one of those walks that is easy to miss from the entrance, but there’s definitely more than first meets the eye. The 30-acre site has been restored in recent years, with old paths cleared and waterways opened back up, creating a peaceful, woodland walk that is short and easy. The Glen has a network of four routes totalling around 2.6km that can be combined to explore more of the site. The terrain varies with woodland paths, natural and uneven ground, inclines and some rougher sections. It’s definitely more of an exploratory sniffy walk than one for clocking up miles, making it a nice option for dogs who enjoy taking their time and exploring their surroundings. Dogs must be kept on lead throughout, especially since there are some steep drops. Parking is limited to a small layby at the entrance, and there are very few facilities on site, so it’s worth coming prepared. Overall, Glenanne Glen is a small but surprisingly interesting woodland walk. It won’t give you miles of open space or a full-day hike, but if you enjoy discovering little paths, exploring somewhere less obvious and having a quiet wander through the woods, it’s well worth adding to the list. 🌻 Reactive-friendly: This could be a decent place for reactive dogs, keeping in mind the only downside is the few narrow paths, however these can be avoided. The lead restriction and quietness of this area is great for those who need a calm environment. 🐶 Our ratings: Cleanliness 3/5 Space 3/5 Quietness 5/5 Off-lead suitability 0/5 Fun factor 3/5 Overall 3/5 💜 Perfect for: - Seniors and little legs - Dogs who prefer a calm sniffy walk - Reactive dogs in training #nidogwalks #dogfriendlyni #dogsofnorthernireland #dogwalkcommunity
