シープタウンのおすすめランニングルート

Poyntzpassの南にある静かな運河区間で、水路沿いの道が狭い水路に沿ってまっすぐに伸びています。岸辺は低い木々や生け垣でわずかに覆われており、この区間に親密で緑豊かな印象を与えています。水はほとんど静止しており、開けた農地の風景を直線に横切っています。均一で交通のない区間で、水路沿いの道でのんびりとした距離を走るのに理想的です。

There is something enchanted about this old, dilapidated stone hut - as if it were whispering stories of times gone by, when the canal was still full of life and the lock keepers worked here day and night. The walls, overgrown with greenery and moss, show how nature is slowly reclaiming its place. The building itself is only a ruin, but that is precisely what makes it somehow interesting. The mixture of broken brickwork and wild growth has something melancholic about it that fits perfectly into the tranquility of the surroundings. Right next to it there is a small rest area with a bench - ideal for stopping for a moment and taking in the atmosphere.

The Carlingford Lough Greenway has a special atmosphere as you walk along this section of Newry. With the Newry Ship Canal to your left and the Newry River to your right, you're in the middle of two worlds. The calm waters of the canal reflect the sky, making the surroundings seem almost like a backdrop, while the riverbank on the other side is lush with greenery and wild flowers. The narrow path takes you past flowering gorse and you can smell the scent of the vegetation in the air. It's a route that has its charms in every season, whether it's clear skies or when grey clouds hang low and make the water seem almost mystical. The Greenway is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a leisurely bike ride, enjoying being close to nature - an ideal place to clear your head.

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.

This is an impressive section of the Carlingford Lough Greenway as you arrive in Newry. The feeling is incredible as you walk along a path where on one side you have the Newry Ship Canal, and on the other, the Newry River.

This cycle and walking route from the Bann Bridge in Portadown to the Town Hall in Newry is a 20 mile trip on part of route 9 of the National Cycle Network. The route follows the towpath on the western bank of the, now non-navigable, Newry Canal. Here's a bit about the Canals history. Built to transport coal from Coalisland in County Tyrone to Dublin via Lough Neagh, Portadown, Newry and the Irish Sea, the Newry Canal was opened in 1742. It operated for almost 200 years until it fell into disuse following the growth of the railway network. Frequent interpretation boards along the way give information about the history of the canal. You will also find lots of art pieces along the route including Sustrans commissioned Millennium Mileposts and a series of pieces which reflect the former work and nature of the Newry Canal.
