Just behind the mill, there is a delightful stroll through the wooded glen.

The workers at Wellbrook Beetling Mill used a form of sign language to communicate because the beetling machinery, which pounded linen with wooden hammers, produced loud, deafening noise. This was a necessary adaptation for daily communication in the mill environment.

This mill is just five miles on the road from Cookstown via A505.

]]> Cabin Wood, Cookstown, July 2025 https://www.garybarnett.uk/photoblog/2025/08/cabin-wood-cookstown-july-2025/ Mon, 04 Aug 2025 13:27:46 +0000 https://www.garybarnett.uk/?p=1186 Only a few years ago, when there was a Facebook post warning about the giant hogweeds strewn along the riverside, did I learn about a little-known gem at Cookstown’s southern tip. The only other forest/wood is Drum Manor Park, but it is around a 3.5-mile drive from town and is, by far, much larger.

Cabin Wood has almost everything in a compact package: wooded areas with riverside walks, sandbanks, open countryside walks with farming fields on either side, wildlife, and a wonderful view of Killymoon Castle & its surroundings.

Despite its compact size, there are plenty of footpaths to explore. It’s conveniently located just a short drive from the town centre.

Here are a few additional photos from August 2004 that are related to one of the walks along the river:

It is less than 4 miles from Cookstown, County Tyrone, on the A505 road to Omagh.

There are many different walking and hiking routes, a walled garden, and a children’s play park.
