Glenshane Pass

Glenshane Pass is a high-altitude route traversing the Sperrin Mountains, linking Maghera to Dungiven and serving as a key transport corridor between Belfast and Derry/Londonderry. The road is renowned for its dramatic landscapes, featuring rolling hills, valleys, and waterfalls. While primarily a roadway, it offers numerous opportunities to appreciate the natural beauty of the region, with the recently refurbished Ponderosa pub at its summit being a notable landmark. Ongoing road improvements aim to upgrade the pass to a dual carriageway, potentially altering its current character. Visitors appreciate the pass for its stunning vistas, particularly during the heather bloom, and its convenient picnic spots.
