ドルマレーンのおすすめランニングルート

運河ルートを通ってニューリーに入ると、戦没者への印象的な追悼の場であるニューリー戦争記念碑が迎えてくれます。この記念碑は、本物の25ポンド砲によって特徴づけられています。この砲は第二次世界大戦の象徴であり、世界的な紛争における地元の人々の勇気と犠牲を象徴しています。砲について：これは、第二次世界大戦中の主要なイギリスの野戦砲であり、その汎用性と機動性で知られるOrdnance QF 25ポンド砲です。

ニューリー運河の遊歩道沿いのざわめく木々の中には、静かな水門番小屋の遺跡があります。かつて、ここは水路の誇り高く賑やかな中心であり、水門番が通過する艀のために運河の重い木製の扉を操作するために昼夜を問わず待機していました。今日では、頑丈な石壁だけが残っており、ゆっくりと自然に覆われています。

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.

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.

The start of the dual carriageway between Warrenpoint and Newry.

A lovely pathway meandering through the lower part of Bigwood. A bit of noise from the carriageway but not enough to spoil the walk.

An example of a fortified house, Bagenal's Castle was built in the 1560s. Original features still surviving are the wground floor entrance to the kitchen, original jambs on some windows and a corbel from the machicolation which protected the doorway.
