Days out in Maghery — your questions
What are the best days out in Maghery?
Peatlands Park and The Argory are top picks — one for woodland walks and play, the other for a grand estate with open grounds. Coney Island on Lough Neagh is great for wildlife watching, and C&J's Animal Park works brilliantly for families. Ardress House and MacIvors Cider round out a good mix.
What free things are there to do in Maghery?
Quite a bit. Mountjoy Castle is a free ruin worth a visit, Brambell Fruit Farm is free to browse, and the Coalisland Canal Greenway costs nothing to walk or cycle. Between the castle, the greenway trail, and the farm shop stop, you can put together a genuinely good free day.
Where can you go on a rainy day near Maghery?
Hit Ball Studio is the main indoor option close by and works well for older children and adults after active fun. C&J's Animal Park is worth a visit in lighter showers. The Rink Sports Arena & Multipurpose Centre gives you another covered option for active families looking for something indoors.
What's good for young children near Maghery?
Peatlands Park Play Park is a great free option for little ones. C&J's Animal Park is brilliant for hands-on animal encounters. Oxford Island Play Park is another free outdoor play option close by. The Coalisland Canal Greenway is flat and easy to push a buggy along for a gentle family walk.
