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.

The truncated round tower rises from afar, its massive structure still preserved up to 10.7 metres. Originally, the tower served not only as a spiritual place, but also offered a strategic view over the valley - a real advantage for spotting any Viking raids early on. The history of the nearby monastery, which is associated with St. Mochumma, is also interesting. It is said that the site was looted in 1130 and that the remains of a church were discovered near the tower as late as the 18th century. The beam holes inside suggest that the six floors were made of wood and offered a certain level of comfort.

Nice climb out of Drumbo

Running from Belfast to Lisburn, the Lagan Towpath is a pleasant, walk around the River Lagan with peaceful surroundings such as wetland, riverside meadows, & woodlands. The canal system itself dates back to the late 18th century and now offers a glimpse into the area's past.

One of the most popular outdoor spots in the province. The Towpath is part of the Ulster Way. You can walk, run or cycle completely traffic free from the Castlereagh hills to Lisburn.

A familiar sight for anyone travelling through the village of Drumbo. The monastery is associated with St Mochumma, a brother of St Domangard. The site was plundered by Connor, son of Artgal McLochlin in 1130. Remains of a church were noted in the 18th century close to the Round Tower. This truncated Irish round tower survives to a height of 10.7m. Inside there are beam holes indicating that the internal floors were of timber. There are six surviving levels including the basement. Wonderfully placed with the hills in the background.

The round tower was originally built here to take advantage of the panoramic views over the Lagan Valley. At the time of the tower's construction, these views would have been useful in spotting incoming Viking raids. There's still plenty of those views to be had.
