At the meeting point of the Upper Bann River and the Newry Canal stands this striking signpost - a simple yet interesting construction that shows you the way. It points to places like Scarva, Newry, Portadown and Oxford Island, while the water flows quietly, creating a peaceful atmosphere. It's a moment to pause and take in the surroundings. The flow of the river, the gentle murmur and the green of the banks invite you to leave the path for a while and enjoy the view. You notice that it's not just routes that are described here, but also the connections between the towns and nature - a little reminder that every walk is more than just the path you take.

The Blackwater Riverwalk along The Argory Estate is like a walk through time. You stroll along the banks of the Blackwater, surrounded by flowering meadows and the gentle sounds of nature. The riverside promenade is an invitation to simply unwind. You might spot a kingfisher gliding across the water at lightning speed, or linger for a moment at one of the old kissing gates that make this walk so charming. Bond's Bridge, an industrial-era bridge, is a real reminder of the area's history. It not only connects two banks, but also the past with the present. As you continue walking, you'll feel the air of history that accompanies you here as the river flows along at its tranquil rhythm. If you're arriving by car, there is free parking at Bond's Bridge, although spaces are limited. Alternatively, you can park in The Argory Estate car park if you're visiting the National Trust. In any case, it is worth enjoying this idyllic route at your own pace.

In the heart of Clare Glen, where the forests are thickest and the Cusher River flows gently through the landscape, hikers will encounter two special examples of craftsmanship: the stone bridges of Clare Glen. The first, a delicate miniature bridge, seems to have been made for elves and fairies, so delicate and yet robust as it sits there in the middle of the green thicket. A few steps further rises its big sister, a stately stone bridge of impressive normal size. Both bridges are made of solid stone and bear witness to the masterful architecture of bygone times. As you walk over them, you can hear the gentle rippling of water making its way under the arches. The cool forest that surrounds the bridges offers protection from the midday sun and envelops the hiker in quiet greenery. The chirping of the birds, the rustling of the leaves and the quiet murmur of the water create an atmosphere of peace and contemplation.

The impressive property tells stories of a time when the Earls of Gosford ruled these green lands. The renowned London architect Thomas Hopper worked on its construction, which began in 1819 and reached its magnificent end in the 1850s. His visionary talent gave the castle its characteristic Norman Revival style - a contemporary witness to the architectural greatness of the 19th century. Considered Ulster's largest listed building, the mighty walls of Gosford Castle have witnessed numerous historical turning points. The Earls of Gosford lived here until 1921, after which the castle's fortunes changed. In 1958, the Department of Agriculture acquired the property and transformed the surrounding countryside into the picturesque Gosford Forest Park - a nature lover's paradise spanning 240 hectares where Ireland's flora and fauna flourish in their full glory. But the years were not kind to the castle and it rapidly fell into disrepair. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, it was acquired by the Boyd Partnership in January 2006. At a cost of around £4 million and under the watchful eye of a government-appointed commission, the castle was lovingly restored and converted into elegant private apartments. Today, Gosford Castle shines in new splendor and attracts admirers from far and wide.

A direction post stands right where the Upper Barn River meets the Newry Canal, marking the direction of Scarva, Newry, Portadown, and Oxford Island.

A pair of pretty stone bridges, one miniature and one regular sized, lead you over the Cusher River through the dense woodland of Clare Glen.

This magnificent Grade I listed 19th-century country house is situated just outside the town of Markethill in County Armagh. It is nestled in the 240 hectare Gosford Forest Park, an area teeming with fantastic flora and wildlife. The castle was designed by London architect Thomas Hopper and was built for Archibald Acheson, the 2nd Earl of Gosford.

Walk through the The Argory estate along the shores of the beautiful Blackwater River. The scenery is lovely fit with flowering meadows, kissing gates, fluttering Kingfishers, and an industrial-age bridge.
