Glenshane Pass

Glenshane Pass, a prominent mountain pass, cuts through the Sperrin Mountains on the A6 motorway, linking Londonderry and Belfast. This scenic route not only serves as a vital connection between the two cities but also opens the way to the expansive Glenshane Forest, a heather moorland covering approximately 2,470 acres (1,000 hectares). Visitors driving through the pass can experience the rugged beauty of the landscape, with rolling hills and vast stretches of heather-covered moorland stretching out on either side.
