An amazing view point over Co. Fermanagh - not to be missed! A great forest area - one of the best forests we have visited in Northern Ireland. Does not seem to be well marked on the maps - so the locals know of it - but not many more - good for us!! :-) We filmed a short 360 degree video of the location. If you enjoy walks in forests around Northern Ireland or Ireland - this is one to add to the list.
This 1,060 hectare forest is part of the West Fermanagh Upland group of forests that stretches from Lough MacNean to the shores of Lough Erne below the Magho cliffs in Lough Navar. Covers an area of over 8,500 hectares and is the largest continuous forest in Northern Ireland. This is predominantly a coniferous forest with large open bogland tracts and wooded gullies.
The Correll Glen Nature Reserve lies to the north western edge of this forest and a waymarked trail takes the visitor in to this important example of a remnant upland oakwood. Next to this along the Glenasheever Road is a native woodland restoration site.
Almost like all those who might have been there, we were mesmerized by the view and fell in love with it - we could actually sit in the same spot with a cup of tea and stare for the rest of our lives - and what got us also excited about the place with its view is that we knew about the possibility of making events in the area; sports, educational, etc. and this will give people a very good chance to create different events in the place.
There are different forest walks in this area which visitors could use - we decided to take one of them and enjoy walking between all those trees - but it is always important to check and keep your eyes open to the signage because some of these parts of the forests might have restrictions to people coming or walking into them at specific times due to some forest operations.
This place is mainly for those who are interested in woods and love to walk such passages - they are not for those who get tired easily or might get a little bit scared :-) - and for those, there are still some other wood places' suggestions near Conagher Forest which they could try, such as Lough Navar Forest, the Big Dog Forest, and Sillees Forest - Tullycarbry Wood which are all found in county Fermanagh as well.
This forest is included in the UNESCO Marble Arch Global Geopark.
The Marble Arch Caves National Geopark which the Conagher Forest became part of contains some of the finest landscapes in the north of Ireland that range from rugged uplands, lakes and forests to gently rolling drumlins. The landscapes of the Geopark represent a complex Earth History dating back as far as 650 million years ago.
Generally speaking, a Global Geopark is known to be a region with geological heritage of international significance where that heritage is being used to support the local communities through sustainable tourism and what makes Geoparks different is that they help the economy by attracting visitors to the area and thus creating jobs and businesses. The geological heritage of that place in the Global Geopark might be significant for any reason that is different than the other; one place might be significant for its educational value, another might be for its scientific value, a third might be for its beauty and nature, etc.
For us, we appreciate nature to a great extent and love those scenes like the ones we were faced with in Conagher Forest - especially because it is not much known and thus we will be informing lots of people about it.
Since we were in County Fermanagh where the forest is located, there are some other beautiful attractions that one could pass by but which are not all related to forests and woods, such as the Enniskillen Castle Museum (

For those who might not know much about Northern Ireland: County Fermanagh is one of the six different counties that are found in Northern Ireland and Enniskillen is the county town of it by being the largest in both, population as well as size. County Fermanagh also happens to be part of the historic province of Ulster. Conagher Forest as well as those other wood places which we have mentioned along with the attractions that one could visit near them, are all placed and located in County Fermanagh.
If you are into nature, love such beautiful scenes, and enjoy walking within woods and forests then Conagher Forest in County Fermanagh should be a new place to add to your list, a place you will definitely enjoy.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
