ドロモアのおすすめライド

この魅力的な港町は、北アイルランドの海岸線に沿ってそびえ立つモーリン山脈のシルエットを望んでいます。カーリングフォードは、週末には多くのパブやレストランのおかげで非常に活気があり、北部からの訪問者を引き付け、牡蠣で有名です。 この村には、海を見下ろすロマンチックなシルエットを持つ小さなキング・ジョンズ・キャッスルや、埠頭から少し離れた場所にある16世紀の元商人宅であるタフィーズ・キャッスルなど、いくつかの史跡があります。

トールセルは、カーリングフォードの中心部にある最もユニークな建造物の一つであることは間違いありません。元々15世紀に建てられたこの中世の城門は、元の城壁に残る唯一の門であり、何世紀にもわたって街への儀式的および行政的な入り口として機能していました。

カーリングフォードのシルエットを支配する中世の街並みの上に、キング・ジョンズ・キャッスルとしても知られるカーリングフォード・キャッスルのそびえ立つ遺跡があります。この城は1190年頃、ノルマンディーの騎士ヒュー・ド・レイシーによって建設され、何世紀にもわたってカーリングフォード・ラフへのアクセスにおける戦略的な鍵となりました。

A great little cafe set in the bike shop, with great coffee and a nice variety of sweet goodies.

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.

Unveiled in Sept 2023 Tom Dunn’s legacy as the local hedge school master and as a leading United Irishman meant he was known locally as the ‘Peasant Patriot’. He knew the power of education and the inclusive nature of his teaching to both Catholics and Protestants through his hedge school and evening recitations of scholarly books, enlightened the poor and oppressed. As a testament to his life, emphasising how he played a pivotal role in guiding local communities towards a more integrated, cohesive and shared society, a series of intergenerational hedge school workshops were held this summer which paid tribute to Dunn and his pivotal role as a cross community educator and leader. Nice place to take a break and watch village life go by.

The perfect meeting spot to start any run in this area. From this point you can head either into Rostrevor village, out towards Killowen, into Kilbroney park or head north alongside the river.
