パイパーズヒルのおすすめツーリングルート

ノックニンニーヒルへの寄り道は価値があります - 「頂上」からの全景パノラマビューが楽しめる夢のような高原です。その土地が私有地であるかどうかは、私たちには完全にはわかりませんでした。時期によっては牛に遭遇するかもしれません😃

要塞（1611年）は1689年に2度の激しい包囲に耐えましたが（ジャコバイト戦争中）、1764年に壊滅的な火災により完全に破壊されました。周回ルートでは、その遺跡を通り過ぎます。

美しい川沿いの町、ベルトゥルベットは探索するのに楽しい場所です。ボート乗りやゴルファーに人気があり、周辺エリアにはいくつかの美しいウォーキングトレイルもあります。ハイキング後のリフレッシュのためのバーやレストランがいくつかあります。

Forming part of the Kingfisher Cycle Trail, this country lane is lovely and quiet with good views of Round Lough

Known locally as the "Wee Abbey", Clones Abbey is a ruined monastery dating back to the 12th century. The original abbey was founded by St. Tigernach as early as the 6th century. However, the abbey was destroyed by fire not once, but four times during its history. In the 16th century, the abbey suffered once again during the suppression of monasteries and Protestant reformation under Henry VIII. Less than a hundred years later, it lay in ruin, although some solitary monks still lived here until the 18th century. Today, you can visit the crumbling walls and take a look at the interesting graveyard. The abbey is free to visit and you can access it any time.

Managed by the National Trust, the Crom Estate is a large nature reserve of woodlands, lake, castle ruins and islands. It is an important habitat for pine martens, bats, deer, red squirrels and butterflies. There is a coffee shop at the estate and if you fancy something different you can hire a boat to explore the lough.

The road passed around the edge of Doon Forest. Mostly a conifer plantation, there is also a lot of deciduous planting around the outside. The quiet road through the trees feel particularly lush in May when the leaves are at their newest and greenest.

There is a great view from the car park, but even better, park up your bike and take the short trail to the hiking viewpoint. There you can marvel at the panoramic views across County Fermanagh and County Monaghan. Take a seat in the oversized chair and enjoy. Especially lovely at sunrise and sunset.
