*TRAILS CLOSURE*
Davagh Forest and Blessingbourne Estate Mountain Bike Trails will be closed today from 6pm and throughout Saturday 22nd February due to a high winds warning.
We'll update you as soon as we hear they have been reopened. All other trail centres are currently remaining open, but as always it's possible this may change.

Kelan Grant Racing has been nominated by the Ulster Herald & Tyrone Herald for Overall Sports Personality of the Year Award.
It's fantastic to see a mountain biker nominated for something like this and recognised amongst more 'mainstream' sports. If you have thirty seconds, throw a vote his way!
