Cullentra Lough

Situated in an inter-drumlin wetland Cullentra Lough is a small mesotrophic lake is fringed by a mosaic of notable vegetation communities. Of particular importance is the marginal mossy fen which varies from poor acid fen close to the lough to more base-rich fen behind. Wet woodland and scrub back the fen with swampy woodland common close to the lough, while the extensive stand of bog woodland occurs adjacent to the remnant area of raised peatland to the southwest. In addition to being one of the most diverse sites botanically in Tyrone, it is also the most diverse for invertebrates, with a number of notable species including the rare Irish Damselfly and Blue Shieldbug.

There is no public access to this site.

Fymore Lough

Situated in an inter-drumlin wetland this small mesotrophic lake with its rich aquatic macrophyte assemblage and marginal swamp is fringed by a mosaic of notable vegetation communities. To the south the lake is fringed by swamp woodland with fen meadow and reedbed stands covering a remnant pocket of peatland to the west. Seepage out of calcareous-rich water along the base of the drumlin slope along the north side results in the notable presence of base-rich flush and fen vegetation here. In addition to being one of the most diverse botanical sites in Tyrone it is also the most diverse for invertebrates so far recorded.

No public access to the site.

Slieve Beagh

Physiographical interest is related to contemporary geomorphological processes including piping, sinks and substantial bog bursts relating to the peat mass.

This is the third largest intact expanse of upland peat in NI. The peatland complex includes a number of oligotrophic water bodies together with a number of raised and soligenous bog units in an enveloping bog mantle which supports an array of associated plant and animal communities. Its flora includes rare and unusual flora and insect species.

There are also breeding Red Grouse and frequent Golden Plover and Hen Harrier.
