キルカソック周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ8

リスナミントリー・ラス（ポートダウン近くのバリーガーガン・ロード沿い）のエントランスは、アーマー県この地域で数少ない公式に保護されている考古学遺跡への入り口です。ラスは初期キリスト教時代の要塞化された農場（西暦500〜1000年頃）で、かつては略奪者から家族や家畜を保護していました。道路からは見えません。

The paths are wide and perfect for families, as there are no cars to disturb you. As you glide along the car-free cycling and hiking trails, you can enjoy the view of the water - especially when the sky is cloudy, the lake has a very special atmosphere, almost mystical. The route is mostly asphalt, but there are also some gravel sections that provide some variety. These single-track paths add a certain challenge to the route without being really demanding. Ideal if you prefer to take it easy, but still don't want to just walk on smooth asphalt. If you want to take a break, the lake offers many corners to catch your breath and have a picnic. There is enough space on the banks to rest a bit and enjoy the surroundings to the fullest.

From the late Iron Age to early Christian times, the island's occupants built circular structures with earth banks or ditches. These were sometimes topped with wooden palisades and wooden framed buildings. As the dwellings were not durable, sometimes referred to as as Fairy Forts ( also known as Lios or Raths from the Irish, referring to an earthen mound ) are the remains of stone circles, ringforts, hillforts, or other circular prehistoric dwellings in Ireland.

This meandering bicycle path glides on through from the station, you get a chance to catch a moment, get into your rhythm by the waters edge.

Craigavon Balancing Lakes, referred locally as 'The Lakes' are a set of man-made lakes built in the 1970s to control flooding. The route around the lakes is entirely flat and follows a mixture of paved and gravel paths close to the shoreline, which creates some wonderful water views as you jog along.

A pretty lake with a lovely path for cycling / walking around. The lake is also popular with anglers.

Similarly to a reservoir, these balancing lakes function as a water store. However, instead of storing the water for the purposes of consumption it is utilised to temporarily store flood waters. As the surrounding areas become more built up with hard surfaces, less rain excess water is stored by soil resulting in it routing quicker into the rivers. These balancing lakes help by reducing the volume of rain water reaching the rivers, which prevents flooding. And more importantly for cyclists it has the great byproduct of providing a pretty feature for MTB trails to be built around!

Craigavon Lakes with family friendly, traffic free, cycle and walking paths and even some single-track gravel paths.
