Derry/Londonderry, UK

Drongawn Lough Waterfront Path

Google Street View

This is a worth-it destination run! Drive 11 miles west of Derry to Burt Castle, the relatively intact remains of an old castle surrounded by farmland. Near there is a lovely path near there that runs along the Drongawn Lough for nearly 3 miles. It’s a flat, wide, gravel path, with great views of the water. An out and back is 5.7 miles. Note: can be muddy/soft.
