Description :
Many strangers to the Twin Towns will undoubtedly pass through here without any awareness of the Drumboe Woods existing, which is a great pity, it being one of our 'special' places. Little can surpass the natural beauty of this peaceful setting, disturbed only by birdsong and the rippling of the River Finn - a true haven of Nature.
As well as being a quiet place where people can ramble at leasure and get their thoughts together - with only the trees, plants and birdlife as company - the Drumboe Woods also provide a home for many small animals; field mice, foxes, stoats, rabbits squirrels...and of course, badgers.
One of the simplest - and greatest - pleasures in life, and one of the few to come free, is to watch the effects on wild flowers and plant life as the seasons change. The undergrowth is bursting with new life, as Lesser Celandine, Bluebells, Wood Anemones and Primroses form a profusion of colour - the harshness of Winter forgotten.
Back in the year 2000, our Twin Towns Environmental Group took part in a Bat Survey in Drumboe Woods. Bats are a protected species in Ireland and are part of our natural heritage. We have apparently seven types of bat - and here in Drumboe the survey found three of those types.
Drumboe Woods can be accessed either by taking the Riverside road, running past Jackson's Hotel, Ballybofey, and crossing the footbridge over the Finn; or by walking along Drumboe Avenue, Stranorlar, where the woods can be seen immediately ahead.
