ロングフォードでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Quinn Bridge is a classic stone bridge across the Royal Canal. It's located around half-a-kilometre east of the impressive Whitworth Aqueduct that carries the canal across the River Inny.

Built between 1814 to 1817 to carry the Royal Canal over the River Inny, the Whitworth Aqueduct is a notable landmark on the Royal Canal Way. It provides superb views across the rolling green countryside around Abbeyshrule.

The Royal Canal Way is Ireland's longest greenway, offering cyclists and hikers a peaceful and flat route to ride or walk. Abbeyshrule is set in classic rolling green countryside and is a good stopping point on the canal. The Rustic Inn provides both rooms and sustenance.

Nice view of the lake

Great trails at Newcastle Woods, near the Inny River. Surrounded by pine trees, these forest trails are ready for you to explore.

Quiet forest with hardpark gravel tracks. Not too technical or difficult trails, but nice riding none the less.

If you fancy a rest in some peaceful woods or perhaps to extend your ride on off road track then head into Newcastle woods off of the road here. Once part of the Newcastle Demense, owned by the King-Harman family, Newcastle Woods is a wonderful place to hike and connect with nature. As you walk through the peaceful woodland, keep a careful eye out for Pine Martens who are resident here.

At the eastern edge of Lough Gowna in Derrycassan Woods you can get right up close to the water. It is a nice place to pause a while with views over to Inchmore Island / Inis Mór (Big Island). The ruins of a 6th century abbey can be found on the island and it was still used as a cemetery for locals until the early 20th century.
