Drum Manor Forest Park Photo Drum Manor Forest Park is located three miles west of the town of Cookstown, to the south of the Sperrin Mountains and west of Lough Neagh in County Tyrone.

The estate was bought from its private owner in 1964 by the Forest Service, and was opened to the public as a Forest Park in 1970. The manor house dates from the 19th century, although only the shell of the building now remains. The attractive park is of botanical interest, containing a variety of gardens, including a shrub garden and a walled butterfly garden.Drum Manor Photo The park is also filled with areas of mixed woodland. Forest plots containing both native and exotic deciduous and evergreen trees have been cultivated in the fertile soil, and there is also an arboretum.

There are wonderful views over the parkland to some lovely lakes where swans and ducks swim peacefully. A large community of herons also live near the lakes. The park has many waymarked nature trails which vary in length. There is a tearoom, which has photos of the original manor house on display, and camping facilities can also be found in the park.
