    Donadea Forest Park is also a nice spot. If you go remember to bring coins with you for the car park, I think it's 5 euro.

    National Stud and Japanese Gardens also nice.

    Ballynafagh Lake outside Prosperous. Bring your wellies or boots though as it was mucky enough when we were there a few weeks ago, and that was after some dry weather!
