Marlbank Forest

Cladagh Glen is officially known as Marble Arch National Nature Reserve. It consists of approximately 24 hectares of wooded gorge and is a little over 1.6 kilometres long with a roughly north/south alignment. At its widest it’s about 300 metres.

At the head of the gorge, accessible by a linear path, the River Cladagh emerges from the rocks through a spectacular feature which gives its name to the site. This path forms part of section 1 of the Cuilcagh Way as well as being part of the Ulster Way.

Along with the subterranean river system and caves of international speleological (Marble Arch Caves) interest, the forest is a fine example of an ash/hazel woodland. To retain the integrity of this woodland type a programme of removal of invasive exotic tree species, for example sycamore, is in place.
