バリーデュラニーでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A stroll along the Newry Ship Canal is like a relaxing trip into the maritime history of this city. The gentle rippling of the water accompanies you as you walk along the promenade. The old shipping canal runs through the city and is now a peaceful place where nature and urban life meet. On the banks you can stroll past trees that provide you with shade and feel the light breeze blowing over the water. The historical significance of the canal is still palpable - it used to be an important trade route, but today it invites you to linger. The water features in the middle of the canal in particular provide a refreshing change and bring life to the quiet surroundings. The waterfront promenade offers a wonderful view of the mix of old buildings and modern artwork. If you feel like taking a little break, you are sure to find a nice place to relax and observe.

A lovely small clearing with a few picnic tables and the Yellow Water river running beside it. The small car park is a good place to leave the car for one of the many walks in this area.

Great 'starter' mountain for the kids.

A steep but beautiful walk following the Yellow Water river.

Stunning cathedral built from local granite

Also known as the Cathedral of Saint Patrick and Saint Colman, this is one of the main landmarks of Newry, a work by its greatest local architect, Thomas Duff.

Hen Mountain is one of the less challenging climbs of the Mourne Mountain range, not to worry though, as it still provides the stunning panoramic views that the Mournes are so good at showcasing. There are a few rocky outcrops up here which can be discovered and explored, just do watch your footing as you move about.

Enjoy a stroll along this wild & beautiful landscape nestled at the foothills of Hen Mountain. If doing a back and forth to Hen Mountain, this is a great one to do with kids.
