With a Met Office yellow weather warning in place for Storm Floris, Silent Valley Mountain Park will be closed on Monday 4th August 2025.
The closure comes as the forecast predicts Storm Floris is set to bring “unseasonable strong winds” along with “heavy rain”. Northern Ireland set to be one of the worst hit areas, according to the Met Office.
The decision has been taken in the interest of public safety as some trees at Silent Valley were damaged following Storm Éowyn. While the park was partially reopened earlier this year, some walking and nature trails remain closed due to the damage. Repairs are ongoing, but it will take time to fully restore all areas.
A site inspection will take place on Tuesday to determine if it is safe to reopen.
