Cycling
This largely flat and completely traffic-free path winds through the heart of counties Armagh and Down, along the tranquil waterway that was once the lifeblood for the transport of coal to the Irish Sea. As you pedal over the well-maintained asphalt or fine gravel, you are surrounded by lush green ramparts, historic stone bridges, and the monumental remains of eighteen locks that bridge the elevation difference in the landscape. A mix of smooth asphalt and easily rideable fine gravel, suitable for almost all types of bicycles.
