Oxford IslandA haven for leisure

Oxford Island, a National Nature Reserve on the shores of Lough Neagh, offers excellent opportunities for people to get close to nature. It is a pennisula today but was an island prior to 1850's before the Lough was successively lowered.

The reserve consists of 109 ha with 8 km of walks and nature trails accessible in all seasons, five birdwatching hides, picnic areas, a paddling pool and Kinnego Marina close by. The Reserve has won the BT Countryside for All Award in 1998 for its facilities and ease of access for less abled visitors.

A wealth of natural habitats

The richness of the wildflower meadows, woodlands, shoreline and open water means that there is always something special to see. Information panels throughout the Reserve maximise the visitor's enjoyment of this valuable site.
