15 miles NW of Cookstown, off the B162, North of the A505 Cookstown to Omagh road.
Very quiet forest with extensive road and double track network throughout. Some superb descents, including brilliant single track, jumps and other features, set up by regular users. Join the locals at the front entrance at 10am Saturdays.

Long Davagh Loop from Cookstown - 26 miles

The long version of the Davagh run starting and ending in Cookstown, 6 miles of road on the way up as a warm up. Takes in all the trails, there is a double loop of the Middle Run in this one, that one trail also has a couple of alternatives within it that are not on here. Davagh long loop on Motionbased.

Excellent trails, brilliant jumps got a bit of everything from small downhill track to fast single track, from fast stony fireroads to long up hill climbs! Its the best place I've been apart from Scottish trails which are in a league of their own!

Excellent mix of single track and fire road. Good solid trails and plenty of options to keep you riding all day.

Some excellent NI riding. The forest is on quite sandy soil, so the trails drain well. The trails themselves seem to be on old walking paths, and so flow fairly well. It takes a while to figure out the lay of the trails, but worth the effort.

Good 10 mile loop for the XC brigade. Some lovely sections of singletrack. I've tried 2-3 other areas and still think Davagh is the best if singletrack is your thing.

The local lads have done a great job here. Lots of linking singletrack and some fantastic long descents, with lovely sweeping singletrack and the occasional 'feature'. Worth a visit.
