Tamnyvaneのおすすめライド

バ​​ン川近くの風光明媚なルート沿いには、モヤラン・ピルボックスがあります。1940年頃、英国の沿岸および内陸防衛の一部として建設されたこのコンパクトなバンカーは、監視所および機関銃座として機能しました。川の渡河点と近くの道路を監視するために戦略的に配置されたこの頑丈な構造物は、この平和な風景が最高度の警戒態勢にあった時代を思い出させます。通りすがりのサイクリストにとっては興味深い休憩場所です。苔むした緑の壁は周囲の自然にほぼ完全に溶け込んでおり、バンカーはその秘密を最後の瞬間にのみ明らかにします。現代の田園地帯の静けさとは対照的な、荒々しい軍事遺産の一部です。

The Moyallan Pillbox is an intriguing WWII relic that is an unexpected discovery along the River Bann. The old concrete structure, well camouflaged and reclaimed by nature, stands modestly on a hill overlooking the river. The views from here are particularly rewarding on a clear day when the Bann flows lazily across the landscape. It's hard to imagine that this tranquil scene was once strategically important in protecting access to the north from possible invasions. The Pillbox stands just opposite a petrol station, near the roundabout where several roads meet. The location may seem unspectacular, but with a little imagination you can glimpse the history. The concrete block quietly tells of times gone by as you pedal on, leaving the river behind. A quick stop is well worth it - not for the drama, but for the unassuming way in which history finds its place here.

The Castle has over 100 acres of ornamental lawns, peaceful woodlands and picturesque glens to discover. Dogs are not permitted within the gardens and café unless they are trained assistance dogs.

Pretty bay of Lough Neagh, good place to stop and appreciate the water.

Rolling road in or out of Hillsborough. A nice road if the wind is blowing in the right direction.

A great place to stop for some fresh fruit and vegetables on a bike tour, the owner is also very friendly.

The Bleary Pillbox stands in a field off Cranny Road, Portadown, Co. Armagh. It remains visible from the road between Bleary and Portadown. The pillbox is one of seven in the area saved as a result of campaigning by Alderman Woolsey Smith in 2001. The inside of the structure is accessible and similar in design to the Moyallan pillbox.

The Moyallan Pillbox is one of several in the area offering commanding views over the River Bann. Dating back to World War Two, the defensive position remains in excellent condition. Protection of the River Bann was vital during the war, as it could provide access to the north to Nazi invaders. This pillbox stands on a crest in a field opposite a petrol filling station near the roundabout linking the Gilford Road, Drumnacanvey Road and Mullahead Road.
