Lough Henney near Boardmills
Image: © Albert Bridge Taken: 25 May 2010
An inter-drumlin lake, to the south of Boardmills, seen from the Bressagh Road Image The area was wooded (in common with many parts of Ulster) until the 17th century when the woods were cleared – partly for building materials needed to accommodate the influx of Scottish settlers and partly (it is said) to deprive those “on the run” (after the war of 1641/42) of hiding places. The black object is a ski-jump ramp.
