The park has no entry fee, you only have to pay 5 £ for parking.

Easy route no special gear required. Very scenic

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

The small town of Scarva, nestled between green meadows and the quiet canal, offers a welcome break on my bike tour through Northern Ireland. Here you cycle on well-maintained paths past historic bridges and small villages that give you the feeling that time has stood still. The British flags fluttering along the side of the road remind you that you are in a culturally special area - a detail that reflects the identity of the region. The route is easy to cycle, the surrounding landscape is gently rolling, which makes for pleasant cycling. The view of wide fields and rolling hills invites you to slow down now and then and take in the peace and quiet. A special feature of Scarva is the annual Orange Order March, which transforms the village into a kind of open-air stage once a year and keeps the traditions of this region alive.

Wonderful forest with an even more beautiful river

A cute little bridge to walk under

A wonderful path leads along the Schimna River through the Tollymore National Park. Nature literally overwhelms me with colors, green jungle and unusual plants. There is a relatively small infrastructure at the park entrance: a rest area, toilets and a small catering vehicle are available.
