Places to Visit

Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) manages seven Country Parks and two Countryside Centres making the countryside accessible to everyone. In addition to the facilities available at most Country Parks, the Countryside Centres offer innovative and award-winning exhibitions and audio-visual displays to assist the visitor's understanding of the countryside and of wider environmental issues in general.

The Countryside Centres are located within, or close to, areas which are naturally attractive in terms of scenery and wildlife. They are provided so that you may enjoy these natural resources while at the same time, we ensure their conservation.
