アイランドケリーのおすすめライド

迅速なサービスと広いスペース

Great towpath for riding or walking. Lots of dog walkers so be aware going around bends with limited visibility but lots of straights for building up speed after.

Nice little cafe in the village of Scarva right alongside the Newry canal towpath, great for brekkie, lunch or just topping up the hydration.

Hollie Berrie is a good place for refreshments on the route at Scarva

If you want to get to Belfast city center without a car and stress, this is the right place.

The path, which is part of National Cycle Route 9, offers a peaceful atmosphere that is ideal for relaxed bike rides - but walkers, joggers and dog owners also appreciate the route. The contrast between the quiet river and the partially flooded sections that can appear after heavy rain is particularly exciting. Sometimes the path leads directly to the water, and it almost seems as if the Lagan wants to reclaim a bit more space. The trees are reflected in the calm waters, which creates an almost mystical atmosphere in cloudy weather. Another highlight are the small, branching mountain bike trails that bring a bit of adventure to the tour. If you want a change and don't just want to follow the river, these trails offer a welcome change.

Lagan Meadows - a real gem for those who like it quiet but still want a bit of adventure. The path winds through gentle meadows and dense bushes, always accompanied by the gentle melody of the Lagan, which flows leisurely along here. It is a real play of colors, especially in autumn - the leaves shine in all shades of yellow and red, and the grass slowly loses its rich green. On the bike, nature comes directly to you here. The narrow paths are easy to ride, but every now and then there is a small puddle or a tight bend that keeps you alert. Sometimes a dog or a walker crosses your path, so it's better to slow down a bit and enjoy. There are also a few quiet corners where you can stop for a moment and let your gaze wander over the gentle ups and downs of the meadows. It is best to come here early in the morning or in the evening, when there is a special silence over the meadows. The clear air, the scent of damp moss and earth and the gentle rustling of the leaves almost make you forget that Belfast isn't that far away. A real contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city and ideal for a little break.
