University Trail Description
Whether you are after a short walk for some exercise or are taking a quick study break, the University Trail in Coleraine is an excellent way to get out for some fresh air and enjoy nature. This short out-and-back route will lead you around the edge of Ulster University’s campus and expose you to the woodlands and open fields of the surrounding landscape.
Setting out from the car park, you will make your way to the northwest along the edge of the playing fields and enter into the cover of the forest. From here, you will turn to the east and continue under the shady canopy, eventually turning to the southeast as you pass by several other sports fields. After reaching the terminus of the trail, simply turn back and retrace your steps through the woods on the return to the car park where you began your quick adventure.
