Aghagrefin Forest Nature Reserve

Access from north and west boundaries from public road.
May-July.

Hectares: 40
Varied vegetation on cut-over bog. The reserve consists of a low lying bog which has been extensively used for turf cutting in the past. Difficulties with drainage now prevents further cutting. Rocky outcrops form ridges running ENE/WSW through the area.
Vegetationally the reserve is a very varied. Wet areas support a wide variety of Carex and Sphagnum spp while small pools of permanent water have led to the development of colonies of reedmace TyphaTypha and water horsetail Equisetum. Birch woodland, with some hazel, rowan and holly has formed on the dried ridges. Further colonisation by tree species is likely. Mallard, snipe and woodcock frequent the area in winter.

Hectares: 695
Limestone geomorphological features, bog, archaeological site. The area lies on upper mountain limestone of the Lower Carboniferous series. Solution features are common with a swallow holes, gullies and small areas of limestone pavement. In the sheltered gullies scrub woodland occurs with ash, hazel and rowan being predominant but also including some oak, yew and juniper. Dense rank heather covers most of the intervening land.
The archaeological site at Myalla consists of the remains of a number of stone circles and a double chambered cairn (1800 BC) and a cashel dating from 0-1500 AD.
The upper part of the area extending SW to the summit of Cuilcagh (684m) is largely blanket bog with a typical western flora culminating in steeper slopes below the summit. (Department of Agriculture and Rural Development)

Old semi-natural mixed woodland. The reserve consists of old woodland growing on a small rocky hill enclosed by a stone wall. Oak predominates with birch, hazel, rowan, holly and thorn also present. Some natural regeneration is taking place. The surrounding open land is dominated by typical acid moorland plants. The reserve is the only example of this semi-natural woodland in the locality.

Altamullan Forest Nature Reserve

Access from public road to east.
All year.

Hectares: 8
Old woodland scrub, bryophytes. The reserve consists of old woodland and scrub surrounding the site of a mid-nineteenth century farm house and sawmill, now demolished. Many of the planted tree species, beech, sycamore, lime, Scots pine and larch are now overmature and dying. Native species, ash, oak, rowan, alder, willow, hazel and holly occur in good numbers and form areas of scrub. The reserve provides a valuable habitat for many songbirds.
The collapse of the old mill race has allowed water to seep down through the area. This, combined with the shelter provided by the trees has led to the development of rich communities of mosses and liverworts. The old mill dam provides an interesting marsh area (Department of Agriculture and Rural Development).
