マゲラダルティン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ10

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.

The park covers almost 130 hectares and offers a variety of landscapes - from wide meadows and shady woodlands to manicured rose and Japanese gardens. The International Rose Trials, which take place here every year, are particularly exciting. If you come at the right time, you can admire an impressive variety of roses, which are judged by international experts. But the park has a lot to offer away from the roses in bloom: whether you just want to take a quiet walk in the Walled Garden, explore the Japanese Garden or challenge yourself on the orienteering course - everyone will find a favorite spot here. A small café provides refreshments and the playground also has something for younger visitors. The park has many hidden corners that make it an ideal stop to recharge.

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.

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.

Fine viaduct across the Lagan Towpath. A nice and quiet place to ride a bike on a good traffic free path.
